Hi, this is my first tab so sorry if it's a little basic.
This is to be played with a capo on the 3rd fret, mostly open chords. For example, The
chord (C minor) is played as an A minor shape. The Last chorus however, is bar chords.
Intro:
Cm9, D#maj7th, Ab, Eb/D#maj7th

Verse 1
Cm9                  D#maj7th
Running as fast as I can
Ab                    Eb  D#maj7th
Can't even see where I am now
Cm9                   D#maj7th
Over the soldiers and sand
Ab                       Eb  D#maj7th
This wasn't part of the plan

Pre Chorus:
Ab                Eb
I never see the dawn
Cm9                Eb   D#maj7th
Although I know it comes

Chorus 1:
Bb              Cm9            Ab
If I ever see blue skies in my town
Ab
You know I'll kiss the
Eb         D#maj7th
ground we walk on
Bb               Cm9            Ab
If I ever watch fire flies all around
                   Eb     D#maj7th
Shining like the stars above them
    Ab                    Cm9
The bullets fly over my head
Ab                           Eb    Bb
Just like the words that you said, son,
   A#min         Ab
So put down your guns
    G#min
And thats the way
the war was won

Cm9, Csus2

Verse 2:
Cm9                D#maj7th
Over the edge and beyond
Ab                      Eb   D#maj7th
Over the border there's no bombs
Cm9                     D#maj7th
Falling on soldiers and sand
Ab                             Eb   D#maj7th
holding their hearts in their hands

Chorus 2:
Bb              Cm9            Ab
If I ever see blue skies in my town
Ab
You know I'll kiss the
Eb            D#maj7th
ground we walk on
Bb               Cm9             Ab
If I ever watch fire flies all around
Ab                Eb      D#maj7th
Shining like the stars above them
    Ab                  Cm9
The bullets fly over my head
Ab                      Eb    Bb
Just like the words you said, son,
      A#min        Ab
As we put down our guns
    G#min
And thats the way
the war was won

Chorus 3:
Bb            Cm9              Ab
If I ever see blue skies in my town
Ab
You know I'll kiss the
Eb        Ebsus4
ground we walk on
Bb            Cm9             Ab
If I ever see fire flies all around
Ab               Eb      Ebsus4
Shining like the stars above them
    Ab                  Cm9
The bullets fly over my head
   Ab                 Cm9
As I lie awake in my bed
  Ab                         Eb    Bb
I just can't forget what you said, son,
      A#min        Ab
As we put down our guns
    G#min
And thats the way the war
    Cm9       Ab
Was won
         Cm9    Bb
The War was won
                Eb
The war was was won
