There's A War Outside Lyrics And Guitar Chords

The chords fit the McCalmans on their album ‚Honest Poverty’ with capo on 4th fret. Written by Ian McCalman

 There's a (G)war outside
I can (C)hear the distant (D)guns tonight, 
There's a (G)war outside 
And I (C)don't know whether to (D)run or fight, 
(C)If I open this (D)door
I may be (G)deafened by the (C)cannon's roar, 
There's a (Am)war out(D)side to(G)night. 

There's a (G)child outside
I can (C)hear her crying and she's (D)so alone, 
There's a (G)child outside 
The first (C)refugee is the (D)last one home, 
(C)If I open this (D)door
They might (G)flood in from that (C)foreign shore, 
There's a (Am)child out(D)side to(G)night.
 
Chorus
(C)Everything's OK, (D)everything's fine, 
Just (G)close your doors until the (C)end of time, 
(Am)Satellite TV; turn (D)off the news,
Nothing but (G)bad news…(C)bad news, 
And (Am)no one wants to (D7)hear another (F)bad (D7)news (G)blues. 

There's a (G)war outside 
We don't (C)need to know who's (D)right or wrong,
There's a (G)war outside 
The (C)sirens sing their (D)warning song, 
(C)Tired and hungry in the (D)hand-out line,
The (G)wrong place at the (C)wrong time, 
There's a (Am)war out(D)side to(G)night. 

There's a (G)war outside
And the (C)guns are closer than they (D)were last night, 
There's a (G)war outside 
And I (C)don't know whether to (D)run or fight, 
(C)If I open this (D)door
I may be (G)deafened by the (C)cannon's roar, 
There's a (Am)war out(D)side to(G)night.
