What Did You Do In The War Dad


Intro:  

 Am                    F                    Am                   G 

Am Am Am E

Gm                          Eb 
Dad, what did you do in the war? 
                    Gm 
Something to answer for? 
                    F 
You say too young I am to know 

Gm                         Eb 
Dad, I've heard you cry at night 
                       Gm 
Mournful and desperate blight 
                         F 
Where did you learn that song you sing 

Gm D Eb Bb 
Cm D Eb F 
Gm D Eb Bb 
Cm D Eb F 

Cm               Eb 
"War is in me! I was the war! 
         Gm                      F 
And your praying brings back the suffering 
    Cm            Eb       Gm             
No, please, don't start to cry 
Cm          Eb         
I only pray you'll never know 
             Gm               F 
The things I see every time I close my eyes 
Cm     Eb         Gm F 
Angels still have faces" 

Gm                 
What did you do in the war, dad, tell me 
Eb                           Bb       F 
Why can't you smile when the children sing 
        Gm       Eb           Bb      F 
Did the wages of war cut your soaring wings 
         Gm          Eb           Bb 
And your soul is now torn, unlike mine 
       Cm         Bb          Eb 
Do you fear yesterday will in someway 
  F 
Define the life of your child?

Gm                              Eb 
Dad, I know what you did in the war 
                   Gm 
Deeds devils would abhor 
                   F 
Did you filfil the oath you swore? 

Gm                     Eb 
Dad, did you do it for me? 
                           Gm 
Their blood for my life to live 
                  F 
In the hollow without reprieve, without you 

Cm               Eb 
"War is in me! I am the war! 
          Gm                   F 
Don't you force me to live the nightmare again! 
Cm            Eb      Gm 
Please, don't make my cry 
        Cm             Eb         
My son, you never ever want to know 
         Gm                  F 
How when guarding your sleep serene I hear 
    Cm      Eb     Gm           F 
The silence of the children who sang" 

Gm D Eb Bb 
Cm D Eb F 

Gm        D        Eb            
Far and beyond the stars there's 
  Bb                  Cm 
A place where all the love, 
        D                 Eb           F 
All the goodness we could have still resides 
       Gm          D             Eb   Bb 
But we choose life away from the light 
        Cm             D           Eb        
You can find ghosts of loss in the gaze of your 
F 
Beautiful child
