Great song from the "Use your Illusion II" ablum....Enjoy!
(Spoken)
"What we've got here is
                   Em
failure to communicate.
       G
Some men you just can't reach,
       Em
so you get what we had here last week.
                G
Which is the way he wants it!
Bm7/F#          Em
Well, he gets it!
             G                              
N' i don't like it any more than you men" (Speech ends)
  Em
Look at your young men fighting.
 G
Look at your women crying.
  Em
Look at your young men dying.
 G                     Bm7/F#      Em Em7/G
The way they've alway done before.
   Em
Look at the hate we're breeding.
 G
Look at the fear we're feeding.
 Em
Look at the lives we're leading.
G                     Bm7/F#      A
The way they've alway done before.

              Em
My hands are tied.
          G
The billions shift from side to side.
         Em
And the wars go on with brainwashed pride.
          G
For the love of God 
            D
And our human rights.
     Em
And all these things are swept aside.
     G
By bloody hands time can't deny.
         Em
And are washed away by your genocide.
        G              D
And history hides the lies 
              A
of our civil wars.

            G
D'you wear a black armband
            Bm7
when they shot the man
             Em
who said 'peace could last forever'.
            G
And in my first memories.
       Bm7
They shot Kennedy
  Em
I went numb when i learned to see.
      G                 Bm7
So i never fell for Vietnam.
            Em
We got the wall of D.C to remind us all.
                 G
That you can't trust freedom
             Bm7
when it's not in your hands.
           Em
When everybody's fighting 
           C
for the promised land.
   G       Bm7           Em
I don't need your civil war.
 G             Bm7                     Em C D
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
  G            Bm7           Em
Your power hungry selling soldiers

in a human grocery store.

Ain't that fresh.
   G        Bm7          Em C D
I don't need your civil war.  (guitar solo)
 Em
Look at the shoes you're filling.
  G
Look at the blood we're spilling.
  Em
Look at the world we're killing.
    G                  Bm7
The way we've always done before.
       Em
Look in the doubt we've wallowed
  G
Look at the leaders we've followed.
 Em
Look at the lies we've followed.
     G               Bm7/F#   A
And i don't want to hear no more.
                Em
My hands are tied.
   G
For all i've seen has changed my mind.
               Em
But still the wars go on as the years go by.
          G
With no love of God or human rights.
         Em
Cause all these dreams are swept aside.
       G
By bloody hands og the hypnotized.
     Em
Who carry the cross of homicide.
         G
And history bears the
   D                 A
scars of our civil wars. (guitar solo)

(Speech)
  A
"We practice selective annihilation of mayors

And government officials

For example to create a vacuum.

Then we fill that vacuum.

As popular war advances.

Peace is closer" (Speech ends)
  G       Bm7           Em
I don't need your civil war.
 G             Bm7                     Em C D
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
  G            Bm7           Em
Your power hungry selling soldiers

in a human grocery store.

Ain't that fresh.
   G        Bm7          Em C D
I don't need your civil war.
  G       Bm7           Em
I don't need your civil war.
 G             Bm7                     Em C D
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
  G            Bm7           Em
Your power hungry selling soldiers

in a human grocery store.

Ain't that fresh.
   G        Bm7          Em C D
I don't need your civil war.
  G         Bm7        Em
I don't need one more war.
G         Bm7        Em C D
I don't need one more war.
    Em
What's so civil about war anyway.
