[Verse]

Am
Silently to silence fall
G C D
In the fields of futile war
Am
Toys of death are spitting lead
G C D
Where boys that were our soldiers bled
Am
War horse and war machine
G C D
Curse the name of liberty
Am
Marching on as if they should
G C D
Mix in the dirt our brothers’ blood

[Chorus]

Am C D G
In the mud and rain
D C
What are we fighting for?
Am C D G
Is it worth the pain?
G D
Is it worth dying for?
Am C D G
Who will take the blame?
D C
Why did they make a war?
Am C D G
Questions that come again
G D
Should we be fighting at all?

[Verse 2]

Am
Once a ploughman hitched his team
G C D
Here he sowed his little dream
Am
Bodies, arms and legs are strewn
G C D
Where mustard gas and barbwire bloom
Am
Each moment’s like a year
G C D
I’ve nothing left inside for tears
Am
Comrades dead or dying lie
G C D
I’m left alone asking why?

[Chorus 2]

Am C D G
In the mud and rain
D C
What are we fighting for?
Am C D G
Is it worth the pain?
G D
Is it worth dying for?
Am C D G
Who will take the blame?
D C
Why did they make a war?
Am C D G
Questions that come again
G D
Should we be fighting at all?
