War Widows Vietnam

B

[Verse]
B
War widows Vietnam
G                   F#
For you I’ll shed a tear
F#         E
Wish every wrong from Da-Nang to Saigon
E          B        E
Would all just disappear

[Verse]
B
War widows sing a song
F#
Cry for their boys in blue
E
And the fucking disgrace of the American race
B               E
Flown so far to you

[Verse]
D#                                  E
I'll tell the tale about a bunch of children
E                           F#
From a small town just like yours and
F#                  G#         F#
Just like mine, the blood like wine
D#m                                 E
I'll tell the tale about a bunch of virtue lost
E                              F#
And the collateral cost on our minds
F#                  G#m     A#
In over 40 years of time

[Chorus]
B
War widows Vietnam
F#
I sing these songs for you
F#           E
Cause we all belong to know these songs
E          B               E      B
From a Vietnamese point of view

[Chorus]
B
War widows Vietnam
F#
Two hundred thousand dead
E
And the sweat in the palms
E
With the begging of alms
B                        E
To stop the flag of red
D#

[Verse]
D#                                 E
I came to tell the tale about some killers
E                                  F#
Who conspired to inflict grievous harm
D#m                        E
And they set the world to alarm
E                              F#
I'll tell the tale about these fucking killers
F#                  G#m     A#
Profiteers from the white house
E               B
To the fucking pentagon

[Chorus]
B
War widows vietnam
B                    F#
No welcome home this year
E
Just the shrapnel paid from the U.S. grenade
E                        B
That left you drowned in tears

[Outro]
B
War widows sing a song
B                    F#
About their boys no clue
E
Or the fucking waste of their sons in a case
B                        E
Draped in red, white and blue
B F# E B E B
