A E E A E C#m
14
It's over, it's over
15
Drums are drizzling on a grain of sand
16
Fading rhythms of a fading land
17
Prove your courage in the proud parade
18
Trust your leaders where mistakes are almost never made
19
And they're afraid that I'm afraid
20
I'm afraid the war is over
21
It's over, it's over
22
Angry artists painting angry signs
23
Use their vision just to blind the blind
24
Poisoned players of a grizzly game
25
One is guilty and the other gets the point to blame
26
Pardon me if I refrain
27
I declare the war is over
28
It's over, it's over
29
So do your duty, boys, and join with pride
30
Serve your country in her suicide
31
Find the flags so you can wave goodbye
32
But just before the end even treason might be worth a try
33
This country is to young to die
34
I declare the war is over
35
It's over, it's over
36
One-legged veterans will greet the dawn
37
And they're whistling marches as they mow the lawn
38
And the gargoyles only sit and grieve
39
The gypsy fortune teller told me that we'd been deceived
40
You only are what you believe
41
I believe the war is over
42
It's over, it's over
