Masters Of War Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[E]Come you masters of war
You that build all the guns
You that build the death planes
You that build the big bombs
You that hide behind walls
You that hide behind desks
I just [D]want you to know
[A]I can see[G] through your mas[Em]ks[E]
You [Em]that [G]nev[A]er done

[Verse 2]
[Em]nothin'
[E]But bui[Em]ld to destro[E]y[Em]
You [G]play [A]with my [Em]world[E][Em]
Like it's your [A]little [Em]toy[E]
You [Em]put a [G]gun [A]in my [Em]hand[E][Em]
And you hide from my eyes
[E]And[Em] you turn and[D] run farther[A]
When the [G]fast bullets [Em]fly[E]

[Verse 3]
Like [Em]Judas of [E]old
[Em]You lie and dece[E]ive
[Em]A world wa[G]r can be[A] won[E][Em]
You want [G]me [A]to be[Em]lieve
But I see [G]through [Em]your [E]eyes
[Em]And I see through your brain[E][Em]
Like I [D]see through the wa[A]ter
That [G]runs down my [Em]drain[E]
[Em]You fasten t[A]he trig

[Verse 4]
[E]gers
For [Em]the oth[A]ers [E]to fire
Then [Em]you set [A]back and [E]watch
When the death [Em]coun [A]t gets hig[B]her
You hide [Em]in your man[E]sion[Em]
[G]As young [A]people's [E]blood
[A]Flows [D]out of their [A]bodies
And is [G]buried in [Em]the mud[E]

[Verse 5]
You've [Em]thrown the worst [E]fear[Em]
That can [G]ever [A]be [Em]hurled
[G]Fear [A]to bring [E]chil[Em]dren
[E]In [Em]to th[G]e [A]worl[Em]d[E]
For [G]threaten[A]ing my [E]baby
[Em]Un b[G]orn and un[A] n[E]amed
[A]You [D]ain't worth [A]the blood
That [G]runs in [Em]your veins
How much do [A]I

[Verse 6]
[Em]know[E]
To [Em]talk [A]out [E]of turn
You might [G]say that [A]I'm [E]young
You might [Em]say [A]I'm unlearned
[B]But there's one[Em] thin[G]g I know[Em][E]
[Em]Though I'm younger than you[E][Em]
[A]Even [D]Jesus would [A]never
For[G]give what you [Em]do

[Verse 7]
Let me [Em]ask you one question
[E]Is [Em]your mon[A]ey that goo[E]d
[Em]Will it [G]buy [A]you for[E]giveness
Do you [G]think [A]that it [B]could
I [A]think [G]you will [Em]find
When your death [A]takes [E]its toll
All the [D]money you [A]made
Will never [G]buy back your
[Em]soul
And I hope that you [E]die

[Verse 8]
[Em]And your death[A]'ll come soon[E]
[Em]I will follo[G]w your[A] caske[E]t
[Em]In the pale afte[A]rnoon[E]
And I'll [G]watch [A]while you're [E]lowered
[Em]Down to yo[G]ur death[A]bed[Em][E]
And I'll [A]stand [D]o'er your [A]grave
'Til I'm [G]sure that you're [Em]dead
