Chorus

G You don't have to be a Jew G/F To disapprove of murder Em7 Cmaj7 Tears burn our eyes Am Moslem or Christian Mullah or Pope Em Preacher or poet who was it wrote Dm Give any one species too much rope G And they'll f**k it up | C |

Verse 3

C And last night on TV C7 A Vietnam vet Takes his beard and his pain Am And his alienation twenty years Am7 Am6 Back to Asia again F Sees the monsters they made C G Am In formaldehyde floating 'round F Meets a gook on a bike Am7 A good little tyke Am6 With the same soldier's eyes
