Song: Rumours of War
Artist: Billy Bragg
Album: Don't Try This at Home
Transcribed by: Dean Malone
Here is "Rumours of War" by Billy Bragg off "Don't Try This at Home".
It is just the chords (Transcribing the violin parts would have taken me forever).
Try interchanging some Em's for G to give it an even sadder feel (If possible). ENJOY.

Rumours of War (Billy Bragg)
==============
Am C G Am
There are soldiers marching on the common today
C F C
They were there again this evening
Am G
They paced up and down like sea birds on the ground
Am G Am
Before the storm clouds gathering
Am C G Am
I must buy whatever tinned food is left on the shelves
C F C
They are testing the air raid sirens
Am G
They've filled up the blood banks and emptied the beds
Am G Am
At the hospital and the asylum
Am C G Am
I saw a man build a shelter in his garden today
C F C
And we stood there idly chatting
Am G
He said: "No, no I don't think war will come"
Am G Am
Yet still he carried on digging
Am C G Am
Everything in my life that I love
C F C
Could be swept away without warning
Am G
Yet the birds still sing and the church bells ring
Am G Am
And the sun came up this morning
Am G
Life goes on as it did before
Am G Am
As the country drifts slowly to war
