Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
Eight  years ago on a summers night
 On the streets  of L.A. was our first fight
Turned  out to be the first of many more
The  country was all in up rise
Who  the blame and who to fight
 Who to kill  and bomb
 To settle the score
You  said "My love, at times like these
You  don't dare question the president,"
And  I raised my voice to the girl I most adore
I  said "I know it's hard for you to see
 But I will  not blindly follow one who blindly leads
 No matter  what the cause."
Three  thousand dead in NYC
 And now three thousand  more across the sea
 No-one can tell me what for
And  I'm not one to say I told you so
 But time  has passed, and now we know
 That honey,  I was right  about the war
Rich  man's chess game is called "a war"
And  the pawns they use are named "the poor"
 And no-one ever wins
And  I say for shame on anyone
Who  orders young men to shoot a gun
 For these gods  you all kill and die so easily for
My  dear, the end is coming soon
 Not for  the Earth, but for me and you
 And every  other soul  who shares the world
 Kill a million  men, but ideas  will still endure
People  were not meant  to shoot for sport
God  dammit, I was right  about the war
