Hi, this is my first tab so sorry if it's a little basic.
This is to be played with a capo on the 3rd fret, mostly open chords. For example, The
chord (C minor) is played as an A minor shape. The Last chorus however, is bar chords.

Cm9 D#maj7th
Running as fast as I can
Ab Eb D#maj7th
Can't even see where I am now

Over the soldiers and sand
Ab Eb D#maj7th
This wasn't part of the plan
Pre Chorus:
I never see the dawn
Cm9 Eb D#maj7th

Chorus 1:
If I ever see blue skies in my town
You know I'll kiss the
Eb D#maj7th
ground we walk on
If I ever watch fire flies all around

Shining like the stars above them
The bullets fly over my head
Just like the words that you said, son,
So put down your guns
And thats the way
the war was won
Cm9, Csus2

Cm9 D#maj7th

The bullets fly over my head

Chorus 3:
If I ever see blue skies in my town
You know I'll kiss the

If I ever see fire flies all around

As I lie awake in my bed
I just can't forget what you said, son,
As we put down our guns
And thats the way the war
Was won
The War was won
The war was was won
