War Is Kind Tab

by Jakob Dylan


                                           Song: War Is Kind
                                          Artist: Jakob Dylan
                                      Album: Seeing Things (2008)


It's not 100% correct, but it's a lot closer to the recording than the other tab on here.

It should be pretty easy, so I hope you get it quickly and enjoy playing it.

Note: The F# is not an F# chord, just the note (E string, second fret).

CAPO II

Chords: , , , , , , 


                   
Mother you saw my eyes
                
On the fourth of July
                       
Under a banner of roman candles
             
Mother war is kind
                   
Like hell but I am fine

Brother have you gone west
Have you followed through once yet
You are still younger how dare you forget
Brother war is best
In the morning when you've had rest

  
Like a lost dog between houses
  
In the unknown open country
  
Line up at dawn to see who's missing
  
My age is a metaphor
                           
It only speaks of everything before

Daughter you wear my name
Those are my eyes keep 'em raised
I may have scars but I give more than I take
Daughter war is safe
Where you are far away
Lover are you gone
My heart has taken too much on
One octave lower than thunder it drums
lover war is done
In more ways than just one

Like a lost dog between houses
In the unknown open country
Like an outlaw now standing
At the foot of infinity
The sun is wild
And just in front of me


This is the short melodic part after the chorus. Listen to see how he picks out the 
between chords.
