Before The War Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C]

[Verse 1]
of all [C]the bars and all the pub[Am]s
And all the late night [C]drinking club[Bb]s
You had to walk into them all
[C]

[Verse 2]
You've been drinking to forget
[Am]You need to keep
[C]your thinking set[Bb]
On what you did before [Csus4]the war
[C]

[Verse 3]
Before the bugler [Csus4]changed h[C]is tune[Am]
When [C]everything was Mills and [Bb]Boon
[Csus4]And lovers kissed beneath the stars
[C]

[Verse 4]
Now they've flattened all the flats
It's time to batten down the [Bb]hatch
With an[Csus4]other whisky from the bar
[C]

[Verse 5]
[Am]And drink yourself under[F] the table
[Ab]Terrestrial TV and c[Bb]able
[Am]The wireless[F] and t[Dm]he Inter[F]net
[Ab]Remind us what we're[Bb] drinking
to [C]forget

[Verse 6]
It's something [C]more [Csus4]than just
[C]the gui[Am]lt
[C]You can't be sure,
you must have [Bb]killed
[Csus4]But you really can't be sure
[C]

[Verse 7]
When pro[Csus4]gress moves
[C]so [Am]fast[C]
[Csus4]It leaves [C]us in the past[Bb]
[Csus4]With platform shoes and dinosa[C]urs

[Verse 8]
[C]
Close your eyes [Csus4]and
[C]count [Am]to ten
Forget [C]the whys [Am]and wheres
[C]And when [Bb]you feel sober
It still isn't over
There's more
[C]

[Verse 9]
Sell your [Csus4]house
[C]And change your [Am]name
Because you'll never be
the [C]same [Bb]man
That you were
Be[C]fore [Csus4]the[C][Am][C][Am][C][Bb]
[C]war

[Outro 1]
[Csus4]
[C][Am][C][Bb][Csus4][C][Am][F]
[Ab][Bb][Am][F][Ab][Bb]
