Original Artist - Not My War guitar chord

Not My War

written 2005

Jeff Foxworthy once commented about a bus accident in Pakistan, where 300 people died.

"My God!" he said. "How do you fit 300 people on a BUS?!"

Capo I

INTRO: G D C G

G D C G

Somewhere across the ocean in a land with a forgotten name

C F C D7

The sun hidden behind a cloud of red, the beggar versus the lame

G D C G

The rivers running red with blood, the night sky lit with fire

C F C D

A scream echoing along with the munition's choir

CHORUS:

Em C F C G

But it's not my choice to make, you can bet I'm thankful for that

C F C D

I just don my coat and shoes, tuck my pride up under my hat

Em C F C G

Now I'm just a faithful as the one who came before

C F C D G

You can call me a soldier of God but this is not my war

Blind man on the subway, without a nickel to his name

Yells out "Jesus'll save you friend," everyday it's the same

The crucifix hangs 'round his neck, a truer friend than I

We give him our ears for a second, and then we pass him by

CHORUS

BRIDGE:

Em C F C G

When the sun sets to the evening, when the sky darkens with rust

C F C D

Who will you look upon, will you have yourself to trust

G D C G

I know it's not easy to remember the name of your kin

C F C D G

To remember where you're going to or remember where you've been

CHORUS
