1.)
When the war is over, we can be kind again
 C                G   Am              Bb
you can be my lover, I will be your friend
 C              G      Am             Bb
and the drunkard in the gutter, who's laughing at the moon
            C             G             Am             Bb
will have whisky and dry ginger, served from a silver spoon.
             C             G       Bb                   Am
And the phonies and the cap-outs, the lonelies and the weird
           C              G             Am              Bb
in one single moment will brush away their fears.
    C           G           Am               Bb         Am, G7


Chorus:
When the war is over, no battles to be won or lost,
 C               G         Bb           F
noone to claim the vict'ry, noone cares to count the cost.
 C                   G        Bb             F


Instrumental:
 C, G, Am, Bb - C, G


2.)
And the children will be the teacher, their lessons will be so clear
           C                   G              Am                 Bb
to see with open eyes, to hear with open ears
    C              G       Am             Bb
And you will understand me, it's easy you will find
     C              G             Am            Bb
to reach with open arms, to speak with open mind.
     C               G        Am             Bb


Chorus:
When the war is over, no battles to be won or lost,
 C               G         Bb           F
noone to claim the vict'ry, noone cares to count the cost.
 C                    G       Bb             F

When the war is, when the war is, when the war is over
 C                 G               Bb              F
when the war is, when the war is, when the war is over
 C           (***) G               Bb              F
when the war ....
