[D]
[Em] [G] What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing!
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing!
Say it again, y'all!
What is it good for?
[E] Absolutely nothing!
Listen to me!
[G] [E] I [Em] have a smile!
I have company!
I have doctors!
I have nurses!
They want me to tell them
That I was a puppet I have
When I smothered the white
And loosed their life
I said WHAT?
[G] GOOD?
[Am] Good God, y'all
[G] What [Eb] is it good [G] for?
Absolutely nothing!
Say it again!
What?
Good? Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
What is it good for?
Absolutely not!
Listen to me!
War!
It ain't nothing but a heartbreak!
War!
And only [Em] to the undertaker!
Oh, war!
Is it any mean to a [G] man's head?
[Em]
The heart of war blows my mind!
War has caused them wrath within the [G] younger generation!
[Em]
Induction, then destruction!
Who wants to [G] die?
Oh, war!
Good God, no!
What is this good for?
Absolutely nothing!
[A] Shit, [G] shit, shit!
[Em] War!
[G] Oh, yeah!
[Am] [G] What is this good for?
Absolutely nothing!
Listen to me!
War!
Breakups!
War!
Got one friend!
He's nothing but the undertaker!
[Em] Oh, war!
It shattered millions of young men's dreams!
Made him different!
Oh, war!
Life is but two short impressions!
To spend time in war's deep shade!
War can't give life!
It can only take it away!
[G] Oh!
War!
Good God, y'all!
What is this good for?
Absolutely nothing!
Say it again!
War!
War!
What is this good for?
Absolutely nothing!
Listen to me!
War!
It ain't nothing but a breakup!
War!
Friends [C] only to the undertaker!
[G] [Em]
Peace, love, and understanding!
Hell, man!
Hell's not gonna play for the elderly!
They say we must fight to keep our freedom!
But Lord knows there's got to be a better way!
[G]
War!
Good God, y'all!
[G] What [E] is this good [G] for?
You tell me!
Say it, say it, say it!
Say it!
War! Good God!
[C] [G] What is this good for?
[N]
