Shock And Awe(Chords)

	        (intro) Am E Am F    Am G Am C G Am C D F Am G F E 

Am                    G                          Am 
    Back in the days of shock and awe, 
C                     G                  Am 
    we came to liberate them all. 
Am                           C                  D             F 
    History was the cruel judge of overconfidence, 
Am                   G                            F       E 
    back in the days of shock and awe. 

Am                     G                          Am 
    Back in the days of 'mission accomplished', 
C                        G                     Am 
    our chief was landing on the deck. 
Am                     C                  D                  F 
    The sun was setting on a golden photo op, 
Am                   G                                    F            E 
    back in the days of 'mission accomplished'. 

Am                         G                    Am 
    Thousands of bodies in the ground, 
C                              G                             Am 
    brought home in boxes to a trumpet's sound. 
Am              C              D                           F 
    No one sees them coming home that way, 
Am                  G                    F           E 
    thousands buried in the ground. 

(    Am E Am F       Am G Am C G Am C D F Am G F E    ) 

Am                          G                          Am 
    Thousands of children scarred for life, 
C                    G                           Am 
    millions of tears for a soldier's wife. 
Am                       C                   D                          F 
    Both sides are losing now, Heaven takes them in, 
Am                       G                           F       E 
    thousands of children scarred for life. 

Am                    G                              Am 
    We had a chance to change our mind, 
C                          G                            Am 
    but somehow wisdom was hard to find. 
Am                         C                          D                        F 
    We went with what we knew and now we can't go back, 
Am                       G                                F        E 
    but we had a chance to change our mind.
