Look at your young men fighting

Look at your women crying

Look at your young men dying

The way they've always done before

Look at the lives we're leading

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
A B C D
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
A5 Asus#4 A7
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

(whistle)
Shed a tear ’cause I’m missin’ you
I’m still alright to smile
Girl, I think about you every day now
Was a time when I wasn’t sure
But you set my mind at ease
There is no doubt
You’re in my heart now
Said, woman, take it slow
It’ll work itself out fine
All we need is just a little patience
Said, sugar, make it slow
And we come together fine
All we need is just a little patience
(patience)
Mm, yeah
I sit here on the stairs
‘Cause I’d rather be alone
If I can’t have you right now
I’ll wait, dear
Sometimes I get so tense
But I can’t speed up the time
But you know, love
There’s one more thing to consider
Said, woman, take it slow
And things will be just fine
You and I’ll just use a little patience
Said, sugar, take the time
‘Cause the lights are shining bright
You and I’ve got what it takes
To make it
We won’t fake it,
I’ll never break it
‘Cause I can’t take it
(whistle)
…little patience, mm yeah, mm yeah
Need a little patience, yeah
Just a little patience, yeah
Some more patience, yeah
Need some patience, yeah
Could use some patience, yeah
Gotta have some patience, yeah
All it takes is patience
Just a little patience
Is all you need
I BEEN WALKIN’ THE STREETS AT NIGHT
JUST TRYIN’ TO GET IT RIGHT
HARD TO SEE WITH SO MANY AROUND
YOU KNOW I DON’T LIKE
BEING STUCK IN THE CROWD
AND THE STREETS DON’T CHANGE
BUT BABY THE NAME
I AIN’T GOT TIME FOR THE GAME
‘CAUSE I NEED YOU
YEAH, YEAH, BUT I NEED YOU
OO, I NEED YOU
WHOA, I NEED YOU
OO, ALL THIS TIME
(ah)
½ step down
D
She’s got a smile that it seems to me
Cadd9
Reminds me of childhood memories
G D
Where everything was as fresh as the bright blue sky
D
Now and then when I see her face
Cadd9
She takes me away to that special place
G D
And if I stared too long, I’d probably break down and cry
A B C D
(Woahh oh oh) Sweet child o’ mine
A B C D
(Woah oh oh oh) Sweet love of mine
She’s got eyes of the bluest skies
As if they thought of rain
I’d hate to look into those eyes
and see an ounce of pain
Her hair reminds me of a warm safe place
Where as a child I’d hide
And pray for the thunder and the rain
to quietly pass me by
(Woah oh oh) Sweet child o’ mine
(Woah oh oh oh) Sweet love of mine
(Woah oh oh oh) Sweet child o’ mine
(Woah oh oh oh) Sweet love of mine
Where do we go
Where do we go now
Where do we go
(Confusing parts with Duff and Axl singing)
Sweet child o’ mine
