WAR RUGS   (words and music by Amy Ray)
---------

capo on 4th fret. standard tuning

Dm                     Am
War rugs in the hallway
Bb                      F
Prayer rugs on the wall
Gm
Who's walkin' tall?
             Bb
I should be kneelin'

[Bridge]
Soldier girl, oh, soldier boy
Tell me what to say
When I see you at Christmas leave
Tattooed and hazed

[Chorus]
F                                 Bb
Oh, we're all growin' up together
                               F
We're all makin' a mark on it
                               Bb
We're all damnin' the consequences
Bb              F
I want to understand
Gm                    F
The soul you have in there

                           
Young Egypt seized the moment
And brought that bastard down
You've got technology
And you've got archeology
We treated you like hunters
Until you kicked the goal
Now we're claimin' you for our team
'Cause what do we know?

Oh, we're all growin' up together
We're all watchin' the video
We're all damnin' the consequences
I want to understand
The soul you have in there

[Instrumental Interlude]

Soldier boy, oh, soldier girl
Tell me what to say
When I see you at Christmas leave

Oh, we're all growin' up together
We're all takin' it pass or fail
We're all damnin' the consequences
I want to understand
The soul it takes to stand
For something bigger than
Myself...
