Hi, this is my first tab so sorry if it's a little basic.
This is to be played with a capo on the 3rd fret, mostly open chords. For example, The
chord (C minor) is played as an A minor shape. The Last chorus however, is bar chords.
Intro:
, D#maj7th, , /D#maj7th
Verse 1
D#maj7th
Running as fast as I can
D#maj7th
Can't even see where I am now
D#maj7th
Over the soldiers and sand
D#maj7th
This wasn't part of the plan
Pre Chorus:
I never see the dawn
D#maj7th
Although I know it comes
Chorus 1:
If I ever see blue skies in my town
You know I'll kiss the
D#maj7th
ground we walk on
If I ever watch fire flies all around
D#maj7th
Shining like the stars above them
The bullets fly over my head
Just like the words that you said, son,
A#min
So put down your guns
G#min
And thats the way
the war was won
,
Verse 2:
D#maj7th
Over the edge and beyond
D#maj7th
Over the border there's no bombs
D#maj7th
Falling on soldiers and sand
D#maj7th
holding their hearts in their hands
Chorus 2:
If I ever see blue skies in my town
You know I'll kiss the
D#maj7th
ground we walk on
If I ever watch fire flies all around

The bullets fly over my head
Just like the words you said, son,
A#min
As we put down our guns

And thats the way
the war was won

Chorus 3:
If I ever see blue skies in my town
You know I'll kiss the

I just can't forget what you said, son,
A#min
As we put down our guns
G#min
And thats the way the war
Was won
The War was won
The war was was won
