Here is a good one from Fred. It has a heavy dose of pain in it. 

My voice varies from time to time so I have to sing it different ways. 

I usually put the capo on the 2nd, 3rd, 5th and 7th frets.... 

Hell, put it were it works best for you...experiment with music.. 

you might learn something....Hammer on!!!!!

 During the cold war 
   Em
My daddy sat at the kitchen table 
C                       G
 Smokin' cigarettes and starin' out the window 
G
 During the cold war 
       Em
He had grease on his coveralls  
    C                               G
and lines around his eyes where the bombs would fall
     D 
He'd drink a couple a beers 
         C                            G     D
and we'd listen to Johnny Cash on the radio  
           G 
During the cold war 
         G                  Em
We had a one story house on Mercury and Vine
        C                               G 
and the blue glow of the television was on all the time
    Em                                  C 
his head would nod and he'd fall asleep across the kitchen table
G                                D 
My mother cleared the dishes     
           G 
During the cold war 
        C
We were ten seconds away from blowing up the world
         G  
and he'd fix those old machines
     Em                          C 
He'd worry about his sons and my mother never drove the car 
           G
During the cold war 
G
 When they finally ended it 
           Em
there were no parade of heros
          C                     G
there was just a quite sigh and life went on
   Em                       C
my mother went away and she never came back again
    G                                  D
and things were never the same as they were
           G
