Chords for Beans on Toast - The War On War | Sofar London

[F#] _ The first song we're going to do, like I said, we're going to do a whole bunch of new songs
to a bunch of what I guess is new people.
This first song's about a whole lot of things.
It's
about smoking weed, it's about world peace, it's about Remembrance Day and it's about my
friend Mike who's here as well.
So all wrapped up into a two-minute song _ [C#m] called The War on War.
[F#m] _
[F#] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Just trying to remember the first line of the song.
_ That's the thing about new [F#m] songs,
_ _ it's like a sheriff in a sydney.
You _ don't know either do you?
_ I'm not sure if you heard my last [Bm] album, some of that [F#] shit was true.
I've given up smoking
[F#m] cigarettes, [C#] I stopped taking cocaine too [G#m] and I don't do MDMA no more.
[F#] But I do still sing that
song.
[C#] I don't regret all the times that I did and I did have a lot [F#] of fun.
And [B] the war on drugs [F#m] ain't
a war [C#] worth fighting.
What about a war [F#] on misunderstanding?
[B] What about a [F#] war on [C#] stupid
politicians?
What about [F#] a war on organised [Bm] religions?
What about a war [F#] on war?
[C#] What about
a [F#] moment of peace?
Or what [B] about we [C#] don't even have a bloody war, we just spark [F#m] up this split?
_ [F#] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [F#m] _
Well we're [F#] always told to remember, [Bm] remember and never [F#] forget, about [C#] World War One and World War
Two and all the tragedy and death that came with that.
[B] We keep it in our classrooms [F#] and we embed
it in our [C#] minds as if it was an achievement for humankind.
[B] Well what if we [F#] teach [C#] something
different?
And what if we talk of [F#] the times when [B] humans succeeded [F#] in living together [C#] without going
out [F#] of their minds?
[B] And what if we talk [F#] about hope [C#] and a blind [F#] curiosity, _ [B] understanding that
[F#] everyone's in it [C#] together and [F#] everyone's got the same needs?
[E] _ [F#] _ _ _ [B] _
[F#] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [F#m] _ _ Take the [E] boombox out of [B] Boomtown
and put it on the Gaza [F#] Strip.
I get my mate Mike [C#] to DJ it and drop some heavy shit [B] and maybe,
just maybe, [F#] everyone will come and [C#] dance.
Pass a couple of pills around and they might even
forget [F#] about the past.
[E] Well that sounds like [B] a fucking [F#] stupid ignorant idea.
[C#] If anybody out
there's got a better one, baby [F#] I'm all ears.
And [B] the war on drugs [F#] ain't a war worth [C#] fighting.
What
about war [F#] on misunderstanding?
[B] What about [F#] war on stupid [C#] politicians?
What about a [F#] war on organised
[B] religions?
What about a [F#] war on war?
[C#] What about [F#] a moment of [B] peace?
Or what about [F#] we don't even have
a [C#] bloody war, we just spark up this [F#] bliv_
Great!
