Guns and Roses - Civil War
Originally in Ebm, I play in Em but don’t go up in the choruses, since it goes up to the 7
Intro, spoken
What we’ve got here is failure to communicate
Some men, you just can’t reach
So you get what we had here last week, which is the way he wants it
Well, he gets it, and I don’t like it any more than you men

Who said Em“peace could last forever”
And in my Gfirst memories they Bmshot Kennedy
EmI went numb when I Clearned to sDee
So I Gnever fell for BmVietnam
We got the Emwall of D.C. to remind us all
That you Gcan’t trust freedom
When it’s Bmnot in your hands
When eEmverybody’s fightin’
For their Cpromised landDand

Spoken
We practice selective annihilation
Of mayors and government officials
For example, to create a vacuum
Then we fill that vacuum
As popular war advances
Peace is closer
