MASTERS OF WAR
Bob Dylan
 
Dm                  C        Dm          C
Come you masters   of        war

Dm                  C        Dm          C
You that build     the       big guns

Dm                  C        Dm          C
You that build     all       the bombs

Dm                  C        Dm          C
You that hide     behind     walls   

Dm                  C        Dm          C
You that hide     behind     desks   

Dm                  C   Em   Am                                       
I just want        you  to   know I can see through your 

Dm                  C        Dm          C
masks


Repeat for following verses...

You that never done nothin'
But build to destroy
You play with my world
Like it's your little toy
You put a gun in my hand
And you hide from my eyes
And you turn and run farther
When the fast bullets fly

Like Judas of old
You lie and deceive
A world war can be won
You want me to believe
But I see through your eyes
And I see through your brain
Like I see through the water
That runs down my drain

You fasten the triggers
For the others to fire
Then you set back and watch
When the death count gets higher
You hide in your mansion
As young people's blood
Flows out of their bodies
And is buried in the mud

You've thrown the worst fear
That can ever be hurled
Fear to bring children
Into the world
For threatening my baby
Unborn and unnamed
You ain't worth the blood
That runs in your veins

How much do I know
To talk out of turn
You might say that I'm young
You might say I'm unlearned
But there's one thing I know
Though I'm younger than you
Even Jesus would never
Forgive what you do
Let me ask you one question
Is your money that good
Will it buy you forgiveness
Do you think that it could
I think you will find
When your death takes its toll
All the money you made
Will never buy back your soul

And I hope that you die
And your death'll come soon
I will follow your casket
In the pale afternoon
And I'll watch while you're lowered
Down to your deathbed
And I'll stand o'er your grave
'Til I'm sure that you're dead

Belief
John Mayer

Additional Versions, Chords and Fingering available at:
http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/search.php?s=belief&w=songs

Is there anyone who
Ever remembers changing there mind from
The paint on a sign?
Is there anyone who really recalls
Ever breaking rank at all
For something someone yelled real loud one time

Everyone believes
In how they think it ought to be
Everyone believes
And they're not going easily

Belief is a beautiful armor
But makes for the heaviest sword
Like punching under water
You never can hit who you're trying for

Some need the exhibition
And some have to know they tried
It's the chemical weapon
For the war that's raging on inside

Everyone believes
From emptiness to everything
Everyone believes
And no ones going quietly

We're never gonna win the world
We're never gonna stop the war
We're never gonna beat this
If belief is what we're fighting for

What puts a hundred thousand children in the sand
Belief can
Belief can
What puts the folded flag inside his mother's hand
Belief can
Belief can
 


WORKING CLASS HERO
John Lennon

Am                           G             Am
As soon as you're born they make you feel small
                        
G          Am
By giving you no time instead of it all
                                    
G       Am
Till the pain is so big you feel nothing at all
   
Am           (D)      G          Am
A working class hero is something to be
   
Am           (D)      G          Am
A working class hero is something to be


STRUMMING PATTERN:
On the Am, hit the base string (A), then strum a bit. 
Then hit the open D string and hammer onto the second fret, strum a bit more, and repeat ad nauseum.
Addthe D chords (in paranetheses) for variety, they don't actually exist on the album.

As soon as you're born they make you feel small
By giving you no time instead of it all
Till the pain is so big you feel nothing at all
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be
They hurt you at home and they hit you at school
They hate you if you're clever and they despise a fool
Till you're so fucking crazy you can't follow their rules
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be
When they've tortured and scared you for twenty odd years
Then they expect you to pick a career
When you can't really function you're so full of fear
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be
Keep you doped with religion and sex and TV
And you think you're so clever and classless and free
But you're still fucking peasants as far as I can see
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be
There's room at the top they are telling you still
But first you must learn how to smile as you kill
If you want to be like the folks on the hill
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be
If you want to be a hero well just follow me
If you want to be a hero well just follow me

I AIN'T MARCHIN' ANYMORE
Phil Ochs

    G     C D
oh i marched to the battle of new orleans
    
G     C D
at the end of the early british war
    
G      Am F     Em
a young land started growing, a young blood started flowing
   
C       Am   D
but i ain't a marching anymore

     
G  C D
for i killed my share of indians in a thousand different fights
     
G    C       D
i was there at the little big horn
       
G  Am      F Em
i heard many men lying i saw many more dying
   
C       Am   D
and i ain't a marching anymore


    
C                  G
it's always the old who lead us to the war
    
C          Em   A
it's always the young who fall
C        G     D       Em
look at all we've won with the sabre and the gun
C               Am       D
tell me, was it worth it all?

     
G         C               D
for i stole california from the mexican lands
     
G             C            D
and i fought in the bloody civil war.
     
G              Am           F       Em
yes i even killed my brothers and so many others
   
C       Am   D
so i ain't a marching anymore

     
G              C              D
for i marched to the battles of the german trench
    
G            C                D
in a war that was bound to end all wars
     
G                  Am              F                Em
and i must have killed a million men and now they want me back again
   
C       Am   D
but i ain't a marching anymore.


     
G              C              D
for i flew the final mission in the japanese skies
     
G           C               D
and i set off the mighty mushroom roar
      
G                Am         C               D
when i saw their cities burning, i knew that i was learning
   
C       Am   D
that i ain't a marching anymore

       
G               C                   D
now the labour leader's screaming when they close the missile plants
 
G                  C            D
united fruit screams at the cuban shore
       
G                Am               F               Em
call it peace or call it treason, call it love or call it reason.
   
C       Am   D
but i ain't a marching anymore.
