 Chords: , , , , , ,
 Mother  you saw  my eyes
 On  the fourth  of July
 Under  a banner  of roman candles
 Mother  war  is kind
 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
 Like  a lost dog between houses
 In  the unknown open country
 Line  up at dawn to see who's missing
 My  age is a metaphor
 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
 between chords.
