War (Chords)
Song by Edwin Starr
Chords by Joe G

Not my best work, but I can't believe no one had submitted this song yet!

Tune down a half step to make this work, otherwise it'll be good for absolutely nothin'.

Chorus is  E  G pause A, then back to E.

Verse is a funky switch mostly in E, throw in a couple G's for flair.
Basic verse chord pattern is:
E. E. E-G E-G,
E. E. E-G, E-G ... and so on
But it's played on a bass, and it's not easy to switch the chords up that quick.  So you 
want to stick with just "E" for the verses.  Listen to the song and you'll know what 
talking about.

Drum roll

E        G  pause
War! - huh- yeah-
  A        E
What is it good for?
G          pause
Absolutely nothing
   A
Uh-huh
E         G  pause
War! – huh – yeah-
  A        E
What is it good for?
  G        pause
Absolutely nothing
              A
Say it again y’all


E        G      pause
War! – huh – good God
   A       E
What is it good for?
  G        pause
Absolutely nothing

Listen to me…

A
Ohhh…
