Dsus2 Esus2/D Dm(maj7) G/D Dsus2
Dsus2 Esus2/D
Us, and them
Dm(maj7) G/D Dsus2
And after all we're only ordinary men.
Dsus2 Esus2/D
Me, and you.
Dm(maj7) G/D Dsus2
God only knows it's not what we would choose to do.
Bm
Forward he cried from the rear
Bm/A D C
and the front rank died.
Bm Bm/A
The general sat and the lines on the map
D C
moved from side to side.
Black and blue
And who knows which is which and who is who.
Up and down.
And in the end it's only round and round and round.
Bm Bm/A
"Haven't you heard? It's a battle of words"
D C
the poster bearer cried.
Bm Bm/A
"Listen son", said the man with the gun
D C
"There's room for you inside."

Bm Bm/A D C
Bm Bm/A D C
Down and out
It can't be helped but there's a lot of it about.
With, without.
And who'll deny it's what the fighting's all about?
Bm Bm/A
Out of the way, it's a busy day
D C
I've got things on my mind.
Bm Bm/A
For the want of the price of tea and a slice
D C
The old man died.

NOTES
sus chords = "suspended" = the chord doesn't have a 3rd, therefore it's not major or minor and has a suspended (in thick goo) sound.
Dm(maj7) = very simple; pronounced "D minor major seven" = it's just a Dm chord with a major 7 instead of a minor 7, so C# not C.
Intervals of DMaj7 and Dm7:
DMaj7 = D F# A C# (1 3 5 7) = spells D Major 7
Dm7 = D F A C (1 b3 5 b7) = spells D minor 7
Now combine those and you get:
Dm(maj7) = D F A C# (1 b3 5 7) = It's a Dm with a major 7!
Important: Listen to the song and note that the solos and verses have an additional bar of Dsus2 after them.
