Version 1...WAR... by Bob Marley ---------.............. *from 'Positive Vibration' (1976)* [Intro] A#m G#7 (x2) [Verse 1] A#m G#7 A#m G#7 Until the phi-losophy, which hold one race su-perior, A#m G#7 A#m G#7 And a-nother; in-ferior. A#m G#7 A#m G#7 Is finally, and permanently, A#m G#7 A#m G#7 Dis-credited, and a-bandoned, A#m G#7 A#m G#7 Everywhere is war, me say war. [Verse 2] A#m G#7 A#m That until there no longer, first class, G#7 A#m G#7 And second class citizens, of any nation. A#m G#7 A#m G#7 Until the colour of a man's skin, is of no more signifi-cance, A#m G#7 A#m G#7 Than the colour of his eyes; me say war. [Verse 3] A#m G#7 That until the basic human rights, A#m G#7 Are equally guaranteed to all, A#m G#7 A#m G#7 Without regard to race; dis a-war. A#m G#7 A#m G#7 That until that day, the dream of lasting peace, A#m G#7 A#m G#7 A#m G#7 World citizen-ship, rule of inter-national mo-rality, A#m G#7 Will re-main in but a fleeting il-lusion, A#m G#7 A#m G#7 To be pur-sued, but never at-tained, A#m G#7 A#m G#7 Now everywhere is war. War. [Verse 4] A#m G#7 A#m And until the ig-noble, and un-happy regimes, G#7 A#m G#7 A#m G#7 That hold our brothers in An-gola, in Mozambique, A#m G#7 A#m G#7 South Africa, subhuman bondage, A#m G#7 A#m G#7 Have been toppled, utterly des-troyed, A#m G#7 A#m G#7 Well, everywhere is war, me say war. [Bridge 1] A#m G#7 A#m G#7 War in the East, war in the West. A#m G#7 A#m G#7 War up North, war down South. A#m G#7 A#m G#7 War, war, rumours of war. [Verse 5] A#m G#7 A#m G#7 And until that day, the African conti-nent, A#m G#7 A#m G#7 Will not know peace, we Africans will fight. A#m G#7 A#m G#7 We find it necessary, and we know we shall win, A#m G#7 A#m G#7 A#m G#7 As we are confident, in the victory, of good over evil. [Coda] A#m G#7 A#m G#7 Good over evil, yeah! Good over evil. A#m G#7 A#m G#7 Good over evil, yeah! Good over evil.
