1/2 step down - Eb tuning
Em
Look at your young men fighting
G
Look at your women crying
Em
Look at your young men dying
G                       D
The way they've always done before
Em
Look at the hate we're breeding
G
Look at the fear we're feeding
Em
Look at the lives we're leading
G                     D
The way we've always done before

              Em
My hands are tied
     G                                  D
The billions shift from side to side
         Em
And the wars go on with brainwashed pride
          G                            D
For the love of God and our human rights
      Em
And all these things are swept aside
     G                                   D
By bloody hands time can't deny
         Em
And are washed away by your genocide
      G                D                  A
And history hides the lies of our civil wars

              G                       Bm
D'you wear a black armband when they shot the man
          Em
Who said     "Peace could last forever"
            G                  Bm
And in my first memories they shot Kennedy
   Em                    C        D
Oh I went numb when I learned to see
       G              Bm
so I never fell for Vietnam
              Em               C        D
They built a wall in D.C. to remind us all
          G                            Bm
that you can't trust freedom when it's not in your hands
         Em                            C       D
when everybody's fightin' for their promised land and

Chorus
G           Bm             Em    C   D
   I don't need your civil war
G                Bm                       Em   C   D
   It feeds the rich while it buries the poor
G                Bm                         Em
   You're power hungry sellin' soldiers in a  human grocery store, ain't that fresh
G           Bm              Em      C  D
   I don't need your civil war

Slash!!!

Em
Look at the shoes you're filling
G
Look at the blood we're spilling
Em
Look at the world we're killing
G                               D
The way we've always done before
Em
Look in the doubt we've wallowed
G
Look at the leaders we've followed
Em
Look at the lies we've swallowed
G                    D
And I don't want to hear no more

              Em
My hands are tied
     G                   D
For all I've seen has changed my mind
              Em
But still the wars go on and the years go by
         G                    D
With no love of God or human rights
       Em
'Cause all these dreams are swept aside
    G                     D
By bloody hands of the hypnotized
     Em
Who carry the cross of homicide
      G                D                  A
And history bears the scars of our civil wars

Chorus

G                Bm                         Em
   You're power hungry sellin' soldiers in a  human grocery store, ain't that fresh
G           Bm              Em   C  D
   I don't need your civil war
G           Bm             Em    C   D

G                Bm                       Em   C   D
   It feeds the rich while it buries the poor
