Cold War keyboard

Cold War

• G

Here is a good one from Fred. It has a heavy dose of pain in it. 
My voice varies from time to time so I have to sing it different ways. 
I usually put the capo on the 2nd, 3rd, 5th and 7th frets.... 
Hell, put it were it works best for you...experiment with music.. 
you might learn something....Hammer on!!!!! 
 
(G) During the cold war 
My (Em) daddy sat at the kitchen table 
(C) Smokin' cigarettes and (G) starin' out the window 
 
(G) During the cold war 
He had (Em) grease on his coveralls  
and (C) lines around his eyes where the (G) bombs would fall 
He'd (D) drink a couple a beers 
and we'd (C) listen to Johnny Cash on the (G) radio    (D) 
During the (G) cold war 
 
We had a (G) one story house on (Em) Mercury and Vine 
and the (C) blue glow of the television was (G)on all the time 
his (Em) head would nod and he'd fall asleep (C)across the kitchen table 
(G)My mother cleared the dishes     (D) 
During the (G) cold war 
 
We were (C) ten seconds away from blowing up the world  
and he'd (G) fix those old machines 
He'd (Em) worry about his sons and my (C) mother never drove the car 
During the (G) cold war 
 
(G) When they finally ended it 
there were (Em) no parade of heros  
there was (C) just a quite sigh and (G) life went on 
my (Em) mother went away and she (C) never came back again 
and (G)things were never the same as they (D) were  
During the (G) cold war
