Intro:

Bbm  Ab7 (x2)

Verse 1:

Bbm            Ab7            Bbm              Ab7
 Until the phi-losophy, which hold one race su-perior,
      Bbm    Ab7  Bbm    Ab7
And a-nother;  in-ferior.
   Bbm     Ab7   Bbm         Ab7
Is finally,  and permanently,
    Bbm      Ab7     Bbm      Ab7
Dis-credited,  and a-bandoned,
              Bbm  Ab7      Bbm  Ab7
Everywhere is war,   me say war.

Verse 2:

     Bbm            Ab7           Bbm
That until there no longer, first class,
                 Ab7              Bbm    Ab7
And second class citizens, of any nation.
Bbm                    Ab7               Bbm             Ab7
 Until the colour of a man's skin, is of no more signifi-cance,
         Bbm                Ab7      Bbm  Ab7
Than the colour of his eyes;  me say war.

Verse 3:

     Bbm             Ab7
That until the basic human rights,
    Bbm                   Ab7
Are equally guaranteed to all,
        Bbm            Ab7     Bbm  Ab7
Without regard to race;  dis a-war.
     Bbm            Ab7   Bbm              Ab7
That until that day,  the dream of lasting peace,
Bbm            Ab7   Bbm           Ab7         Bbm    Ab7
 World citizen-ship, rule of inter-national mo-rality,
        Bbm                       Ab7
Will re-main in but a fleeting il-lusion,
          Bbm  Ab7            Bbm    Ab7
To be pur-sued,  but never at-tained,
                  Bbm  Ab7  Bbm  Ab7
Now everywhere is war.       War.

Verse 4:

    Bbm          Ab7           Bbm
And until the ig-noble, and un-happy regimes,
     Ab7                     Bbm  Ab7  Bbm        Ab7
That hold our brothers in An-gola,  in Mozambique,
      Bbm    Ab7        Bbm     Ab7
South Africa,  subhuman bondage,
          Bbm     Ab7           Bbm    Ab7
Have been toppled,  utterly des-troyed,
                    Bbm  Ab7      Bbm  Ab7
Well, everywhere is war,   me say war.

Bridge 1:

Bbm              Ab7  Bbm             Ab7
 War in the East,     war in the West.
Bbm           Ab7  Bbm            Ab7
 War up North,     war down South.
Bbm       Ab7  Bbm            Ab7
 War, war,     rumours of war.

Verse 5:

    Bbm            Ab7   Bbm           Ab7
And until that day,  the African conti-nent,
     Bbm            Ab7  Bbm           Ab7
Will not know peace,  we Africans will fight.
           Bbm       Ab7   Bbm              Ab7
We find it necessary,  and we know we shall win,
   Bbm              Ab7     Bbm     Ab7           Bbm  Ab7
As we are confident, in the victory, of good over evil.

Coda:

          Bbm        Ab7         Bbm  Ab7
Good over evil, yeah!  Good over evil.
          Bbm        Ab7         Bbm  Ab7
Good over evil, yeah!  Good over evil.
