[ Gm F7 - 1 strum each - ] Bb F Let us dance beneath the moon Cm Gm I'll sing to you 'Claire de Lune' Bb F The morning always comes too soon D7 Gm But tonight the war is over Gm Cm He speaks to me in schoolboy French D7 Gm Of a soldiers life inside a trench Gm Cm Of the look of death and the ghastly stench D7 Gm I do my best to please him Gm Cm He puts two roses in a vase D7 Gm Two roses sadly out of place Gm Cm Like the gallant smile on his haggard face D7 Gm Playfully I tease him Bb F Hold me neath the Paris skies Cm Gm Let's not talk of how or why Bb F Tomorrow's soon enough to die D7 Gm But tonight the war is over Gm Cm We make love too hard too fast D7 Gm He falls asleep his face a mask Gm Cm He wakes with the shakes and he drinks from his flask D7 Gm I put my arms around him Gm Cm They die in the trenches and they die in the air D7 Gm In Belguim and France the dead are everywhere Gm Cm They die so so fast there's no time to prepare D7 Gm A decent grave to surround them Bb F Old world glory old world fame Cm Gm The old worlds gone gone up in flames Bb F Nothing will ever be the same D7 Gm And nothing lasts forever Gm Cm Oh I'd pray for him but I've forgotten how D7 Gm And there's nothing nothing that can save him now Gm Cm There's always another with the same funny bow D7 Gm And who am I to deny them Lux aeterna Luce-at e-is Domine cum sanctic tu-is in aeternum Qui-a pius es Requiem aeternaum dona e-is Domine Qui-a pius es Requiem aeternaum dona e-is Domine Qui-a pius es Et lux perpetua luce-at- e-is Cum sancris tu-is in Aeternum qui-api-us es D7 Gm Tonight the war is over |
