Intro: E A E A

Verse:
    E                  A
Hey Bill, Hey Don, Hey Roger, Hey Ron
     E                                     B
Four purple hearts full of war stories and local diner black coffee
     E                            A
They laugh at the fool, talk some trash shoot the pool
        E                                   B
They’re sweet as a slice of cherry pie with shrapnel still in their bodies
       C#m                         A
And I couldn’t help but sit there, watch Em Go about
    E                           B
And that’s when it hit me, they got it figured out

Chorus:
        E                          A
All the wars from now on should be fought by old men
        E                                      B
Who are old enough to know better now, Knowing better than back then
                 E                      A
They’d set their weapons on the ground, Crack a couple of cold beers
      E                                      B
Share polaroid’s of their grandkids, let the black powder smoke clear
       C#m                         A
They’d play cards and shake hands, make some new friends
        E                          B             E
All the wars from now on should be fought by old men

Verse:
E       A       E       A
                        Don’t they usually send
     E                           A
Some poor mother’s son, youth is wasted on the young
E                                             B
Recruit Em right outta high school, Hell they won’t know any better
        E                            A
They’ll fight it, they’ll die, their hometowns will cry
    E                                         B
And all that’s left is some empty nests and a shaky handwritten letter.
         C#m
And it’s been that way forever

Chorus:
        E                          A
All the wars from now on should be fought by old men
        E                                      B
Who are old enough to know better now, Knowing better than back then
                 E                      A
They’d set their weapons on the ground, Crack a couple of cold beers
      E                                      B
Share polaroid’s of their grandkids, let the black powder smoke clear
       C#m                         A
They’d play cards and shake hands, make some new friends
        E                          B             E
All the wars from now on should be fought by old men

Bridge:
           C#m                           A
There’d be peace on Earth every day… and aint they, the ones that usually
B        A      B
start it anyway.

Chorus:
        E                          A
All the wars from now on should be fought by old men
        E                                      B
Who are old enough to know better now, Knowing better than back then
                 E                      A
They’d set their weapons on the ground, Crack a couple of cold beers
      E                                      B
Share polaroid’s of their grandkids, let the black powder smoke clear
       C#m                         A
They’d play cards and shake hands, make some new friends
        E                   A
All the wars from now on
        E                   B
All the wars from now on
