Fred Eaglesmith - Cold War guitar chord

Here is a good one from Fred. It has a heavy dose of pain in it.

My voice varies from time to time so I have to sing it different ways.

I usually put the capo on the 2nd, 3rd, 5th and 7th frets....

Hell, put it were it works best for you...experiment with music..

you might learn something....Hammer on!!!!!

(G) During the cold war

My (Em) daddy sat at the kitchen table

(C) Smokin' cigarettes and (G) starin' out the window

(G) During the cold war

He had (Em) grease on his coveralls

and (C) lines around his eyes where the (G) bombs would fall

He'd (D) drink a couple a beers

and we'd (C) listen to Johnny Cash on the (G) radio (D)

During the (G) cold war

We had a (G) one story house on (Em) Mercury and Vine

and the (C) blue glow of the television was (G)on all the time

his (Em) head would nod and he'd fall asleep (C)across the kitchen table

(G)My mother cleared the dishes (D)

During the (G) cold war

We were (C) ten seconds away from blowing up the world

and he'd (G) fix those old machines

He'd (Em) worry about his sons and my (C) mother never drove the car

During the (G) cold war

(G) When they finally ended it

there were (Em) no parade of heros

there was (C) just a quite sigh and (G) life went on

my (Em) mother went away and she (C) never came back again

and (G)things were never the same as they (D) were

During the (G) cold war
