Song: Not My War Tab
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
