{Intro} [Dsus2 Esus2/D Dm(maj7) G/D Dsus2 :|]
{sax solo} [Dsus2 Esus2/D Dm(maj7) G/D Dsus2 :|]
{Verse} [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.
{Chorus} [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.
{Verse} [Dsus2 Esus2/D ] Black and blue [Dm(maj7) G/D Dsus2] And who knows which is which and who is who. [Dsus2 Esus2/D ] Up and down. [Dm(maj7) G/D Dsus2] And in the end it's only round and round and round.
{Chorus} [ 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."
(sax solo) [Dsus2 Esus2/D Dm(maj7) G/D Dsus2] [Dsus2 Esus2/D Dm(maj7) G/D Dsus2] [Bm Bm/A D C ] [Bm Bm/A D C]
{Verse} [Dsus2 Esus2/D ] Down and out [Dm(maj7) G/D Dsus2] It can't be helped but there's a lot of it about. [Dsus2 Esus2/D ] With, without. [Dm(maj7) G/D Dsus2] And who'll deny it's what the fighting's all about?
{Chorus} [ 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.
