War Isn’t Murder

Alternative, maybe easier, version:
  • Transpose the chords 3 half steps down [ -3 ]
  • Put a capo on fret 3 to stay in the same key

Intro: Eb Eb Eb Eb

Verse:
 Eb
War isn't murder

Good men don't die

Children don't starve and all the women survive


Cm
War isn't murder

That's  what they say

When you're fighting the Devil

Murder's okay


 Bb
War isn't murder
                Bb7
They're called casualties

There ain't a veteran
                     Bb
With a good night's sleep

Chorus:
-nc-              Ab
Let's talk about dead people
          Ab7
I mean a dead people
     Ab              Eb
The dead don't feel honor


                      C
They don't feel that brave
                  F
They don't feel avenged
                           Bb
They're lucky if they got gravеs


                Eb
Call your dead mother
                  Cm
Ask her whеn she died
                F7                   Bb
It's a deathly silence on the other line


                Ab
The dead don't talk
                            Abm
But their children don't forget
                Eb
So in 20 short years

You can


           C7   C
live to regret that

Verse:
 Eb
War isn't murder

There's money at stake

Hell, even Kushner agrees

It's good real estate


Cm
War isn't murder

Ask Netanyahu

He's got a psalm for that

He's got a bomb for you


 Bb
War isn't murder
        Bb7
It's an old desert faith
                                Bb
It's a nation state sanctioned righteous hate

Chorus:
-nc-              Ab
Let's talk about dead people
          Ab7
I mean a dead people
           Eb
War isn't murder

It's the


             C7
Vengeance of God
                      F7
If you can't see the bodies
                            Bb
They don't bloat when they rot


                     Eb
And the flies don't swarm
                       Cm
And the children don't cry
              F7
If war isn't murder
                Bb
Good men don't die


         Ab
So in a short 20 years
           Abm
Where you vacation the Strip
             Eb
Try not and think about the dead


     F      Bb   Eb  Eb Eb Eb
And have a nice trip

Verse:
 Eb
War isn't murder

Let's all give thanks

I saw it all in a movie
-nc-
Give it up for Tom Hanks


Cm
War isn't murder

They don't ship out the poor

And the bullets they fire

Ain't part of the cure


 Bb
War isn't murder

Land is a right
        -nc-
But the banks called dibs

It's something you can't fight

Chorus:
-nc-              Ab
Let's talk about dead people
          Ab7
I mean a dead people
     Ab              Eb
The dead don't feel honor


                      C
They don't feel that brave
                  F
They don't feel avenged
                           Bb
They're lucky if they got graves


                Eb
Call your dead mother
                  Cm
Ask her when she died
                F                    Bb
It's a deathly silence on the other line


                Ab
The dead don't talk
                             Abm
But their children don't forget
                Eb
So in 20 short years
