War By Bob Marley

Intro:

Bbm  Ab7 (x2)

Verse 1:

Bbm            Ab7            Bbm              Ab7

Until the phi-losophy, which hold one race su-perior,

      Bbm    Ab7  Bbm    Ab7

And a-nother;  in-ferior.

   Bbm     Ab7   Bbm         Ab7

Is finally,  and permanently,

    Bbm      Ab7     Bbm      Ab7

Dis-credited,  and a-bandoned,

              Bbm  Ab7      Bbm  Ab7

Everywhere is war,   me say war.

Verse 2:

     Bbm            Ab7           Bbm

That until there no longer, first class,

                 Ab7              Bbm    Ab7

And second class citizens, of any nation.

Bbm                    Ab7               Bbm             Ab7

Until the colour of a man's skin, is of no more signifi-cance,

         Bbm                Ab7      Bbm  Ab7

Than the colour of his eyes;  me say war.

Verse 3:

     Bbm             Ab7

That until the basic human rights,

    Bbm                   Ab7

Are equally guaranteed to all,

        Bbm            Ab7     Bbm  Ab7

Without regard to race;  dis a-war.

     Bbm            Ab7   Bbm              Ab7

That until that day,  the dream of lasting peace,

Bbm            Ab7   Bbm           Ab7         Bbm    Ab7

World citizen-ship, rule of inter-national mo-rality,

        Bbm                       Ab7

Will re-main in but a fleeting il-lusion,

          Bbm  Ab7            Bbm    Ab7

To be pur-sued,  but never at-tained,

                  Bbm  Ab7  Bbm  Ab7

Now everywhere is war.       War.

Verse 4:

    Bbm          Ab7           Bbm

And until the ig-noble, and un-happy regimes,

     Ab7                     Bbm  Ab7  Bbm        Ab7

That hold our brothers in An-gola,  in Mozambique,

      Bbm    Ab7        Bbm     Ab7

South Africa,  subhuman bondage,

          Bbm     Ab7           Bbm    Ab7

Have been toppled,  utterly des-troyed,

                    Bbm  Ab7      Bbm  Ab7

Well, everywhere is war,   me say war.

Bridge 1:

Bbm              Ab7  Bbm             Ab7

War in the East,     war in the West.

Bbm           Ab7  Bbm            Ab7

War up North,     war down South.

Bbm       Ab7  Bbm            Ab7

War, war,     rumours of war.

Verse 5:

    Bbm            Ab7   Bbm           Ab7

And until that day,  the African conti-nent,

     Bbm            Ab7  Bbm           Ab7

Will not know peace,  we Africans will fight.

           Bbm       Ab7   Bbm              Ab7

We find it necessary,  and we know we shall win,

   Bbm              Ab7     Bbm     Ab7           Bbm  Ab7

As we are confident, in the victory, of good over evil.

Coda:

          Bbm        Ab7         Bbm  Ab7

Good over evil, yeah!  Good over evil.

          Bbm        Ab7         Bbm  Ab7

Good over evil, yeah!  Good over evil.
