[Chorus 1]
[Dm](War!) [F]Huh! Yeah! (What is it [Dm]good for?)
[F]Absolutely (nothin!) uh-huh, uh-huh
[Dm](War!) [F]Huh! Yeah! (What is it [Dm]good for?)
[F]Absolutely (nothin!) Say it again, y'all
[Dm](War!) Huh! [F]Look out... (What is it [Dm]good for?)
[F]Absolutely (nothin!) listen to me, oh

[Verse 1]
[Dm](War!) I [C]despise[Dm]
'Cause it means destruction
of innocent [C]lives[Dm]
War means tears
to thousands of mo[C]ther's [Dm]eyes
When their sons go off to fight
And lose their [C]lives [Dm]I said,

[Chorus 2]
[Dm](War!) [F]Huh! Good God, y'all!
(What is it [Dm]good for?)
[F]Absolutely (nothin!) Just say it again
[Dm](War!) Huh! [F]Oh, Lord (What is it [Dm]good for?)
[F]Absolutely (nothin!) Listen to me!
[Dm](War!) It ain't no[F]thing but a heart-breaker
[Dm](War!) Friend on[F]ly to the undertaker oh

[Verse 2]
[Dm]War! it's an enemy to all man[C]kind[Dm]
The thought of war blows my [C]mind[Dm]
War has caused unrest
Within the younger gene[C]ra [Dm]tion
Induction, then destruction
Who wants to die? [C]Oh![Dm]

[Chorus 3]
[Dm](War!) Good [F]God, y'all!
(What is it [Dm]good for?)
[F]Absolutely (nothin!) Say it, say it, say it!
[Dm](War!) Uh- [F]huh, yeah, huh!
(What is it [Dm]good for?)
[F]Absolutely (nothin!) Listen to me!
[Dm](War!) It ain't no[F]thing but a heart-breaker
[Dm](War!) It got [F]one friend,

[Verse 3]
that's the undertaker oh
[Dm]War has shattered
many a young [C]man's [Dm]dreams
Made him disabled, bitter and [C]mean[Dm]
Life is much too short and precious
To spend fighting wars [C]each [Dm]day
War can't give life
It can only take it [C]away, [Dm]oh

[Chorus 4]
[Dm]War! (Huh!) [F]Good God, y'all
(What is it [Dm]good for?)
[F]Absolutely (nothin!) Say it again
[Dm](War!) Woah [F](huh) woah, oh Lord
(What is it [Dm]good for?)
Uh, [F]Absolutely (nothin!) Listen to me!
[Dm](War!) It ain't no[F]thing but a heart-breaker
[Dm](War!) Friend on[F]ly to the undertaker oh

[Verse 4]
[Dm]Peace, love and understanding,
[C]tell [Dm]me
Is there no place for them [C]today?[Dm]
They say we must fight
to keep our [C]free[Dm]dom,
But Lord knows there's got to be
a better way, [C]oh[Dm]

[Chorus 5]
[Dm]War! [F]God, y'all
(What is it [Dm]good for?)
You tell [F]'em! (nothin!)
Say it, say it, say it, say it!
[Dm](War!) Good [F]God, yeah huh!
(What is it [Dm]good for?)
Stand [F]up and shout it! (nothin!)
[Fade out]
