Billy Bragg - Rumours Of War guitar tab

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
