"Holy War"

Em G

I've spent 20 years learning to live

Am Em

In a world that takes back all that it gives

C D

But I do not want a war

(Same for verse two)

Em G C D

'cause I'm not in for killing another man

Em G C D

Defending my holy land

Em G C D

As if there's a god who would understand

(Verse 3 - same pregression as Verses 1 and 2)

(Chorus 2 - same as 1)

C - -- Em

Feeding the promised land

(I'm sure if he just changes his bass strings like C-B-A-G-E, or if he

changes the entire chord as in C-G-Am-G-Em....anyway, he starts with C

and ends with Em!)

C - -- Em

With your blood by my own hand

C

At Allah's own command

D

At Allah's own command

Lyrics:

I've spent twenty years learning to live

In a world that takes back all that it gives

But I do not want a war

I don't know what's going on

In the scenes behind

I worry about it some of the time

And I hope there's not a war

'Cause I'm not in for killing another man

Defending my holy land

As if there's a god who would understand

And I would walk across highways

To find my fate

If that might settle your crude debate

But I do not want a war

'Cause I'm not in for killing another man

Defending my holy land

As if there's a god who would understand

Feeding the promised land

With your blood by my own hand

At allah's own command

At allah's own command

I came up from the desert and here I will die

Tooth for tooth and an eye for an eye

Though I didn't want a war

I went in for killing another man

Defending my holy land

As if there's a god who would understand

As if there's a god who would understand

I went in for killing another man

Defending my holy land

As if there's a god who would understand

As if there's a god who would understand

Oh yeah...
