This next song I learned at the Tokyo Airport.
It's by a British band, and I learned it at an American hotel after having a French meal.
[Em] So, British song written at the Holiday Inn at the Tokyo Airport.
[E] And at the top of the Holiday Inn they had a French restaurant.
I just had dinner.
So this song makes me feel very [C#] cosmopolitan.
Ok,
[Em]
[C#m] [C#] so [C#m]
this [A] next song is [E]
[C#m]
by a British band.
Ooooo, ooooo, ooooo, [A] ooooo, ooooo,
[C#] [B] [E] ooooo
[A]
[C#m] Ooo, the storm is threatening my very life today
If I don't get some shelter, I'm gonna fade away.
War [B] shooting [A] is just a shot away, [C#m] shot away.
War [B] shooting
[A] is just a shot [E] away.
[B]
[C#m]
The fire is sweeping down our street today.
Burns like a red cold carpet.
A mad fool lost his way.
War [B] shooting [A] is [F#] just a shot away, [C#m]
shot away.
War [B] shooting
[A] is just [E] a shot [A] away, shot [E]
[C#] [C#m]
away.
[C#]
[A] [E] [C#]
War shooting [B]
[A] [A] is just a [C#m] shot away.
[C#]
[C#m] All our lives today, give me, give me shelter.
Or we're all gonna fade.
[C#] War shooting is [A] just a shot away.
[C#m] War shooting [A] is just a shot away.
[C#m] War shooting [B]
[A] is just a shot away.
[C#m] But I heard love, [B] sister.
