This is a song Colin has played live a few times, although it doesn't appear yet on an It is possibly one of my favorite of his songs, and it's pretty simple. From the videos watched of him playing it, these chords seem to be close to what he plays, and they good. Side note, there's a guy online who has a cover of it, and his chords sound wrong and he's playing them at the wrong times to his singing of it, what a fool. Enjoy! (watch Colin's live shows for strumming) also, the song is meant to be played on 12-string acoustic, so it would sound much if you used that. However, I don't own one, so I make due with 6 string. ---- CAPO 2!!! chords used: Some E minor chord (Em*): 0 2 4 4 0 0 Cmaj7: x 3 2 0 0 0 G: 3 2 0 0 0 3 D: x x 0 2 3 2 Em: 0 2 2 0 0 0 C: x 3 2 0 1 0 riff 1: Em (strum), hammer-on 2 on low E string (strum), G (strum) Intro: Em* Cmaj7 (rpt) Em* Cmaj7 Come the war Em* Cmaj7 Come the avarice Em* Cmaj7 Come the war Em* Cmaj7 Come hell And come destruction Come the reek of bone Come destruction Come hell Chorus: G D And this is why Em Why we fight C Why we lie awake G D And this is why C (hammer on D string) This is why we fight G D And when we die Em We will die C With our arms unbound G D And this is why This is why C Why we fight (riff 1) Come hell (riff 1) Come hell And bride of quiet Bride of underground (thane) Bride of quiet Bride of hell And come the archers Come the infantry Come the archers of hell Chorus: And this is why Why we fight Why we lie awake And this is why This is why we fight And when we die We will die With our arms unbound And this is why This is why we fight (riff 1) Come hell (riff 1) Come hell And this is why Why we fight Why we lie awake And this is why This is why we fight And when we die We will die with our arms unbound And this is why This is why we fight (continue with chorus chords) So come to me Come to me now Lay your arms around me And this is why This is why We fight (riff 1) Come hell (riff 1) Come hell strum G and end
