CAPO II
Chords: G5 , F#5 , A5 , D5 , B5 , F5 , E5
G5 A5 D5
Mother you saw my eyes
G5 F#5 D5
On the fourth of July
G5 A5 D5
Under a banner of roman candles
G5 A5 B5
Mother war is kind
G5 A5 D5
Like hell but I am fine
Brother have you gone west
Have you followed through once yet
You are still younger how dare you forget
Brother war is best
In the morning when you've had rest
G5
Like a lost dog between houses
D5
In the unknown open country
F5
Line up at dawn to see who's missing
E5
My age is a metaphor
D5 A5
It only speaks of everything before
Daughter you wear my name
Those are my eyes keep 'em raised
I may have scars but I give more than I take
Daughter war is safe
Where you are far away
Lover are you gone
My heart has taken too much on
One octave lower than thunder it drums
lover war is done
In more ways than just one
Like a lost dog between houses
In the unknown open country
Like an outlaw now standing
At the foot of infinity
The sun is wild
And just in front of me
This is the short melodic part after the chorus. Listen to see how he picks out the
