Sunday After The War

	  		
V1  
   Dm        Am 
I'll see you on Sunday just after the war 
      Gm           F 
We'll hang up our bruised old arms on the wall 
   Dm             Gm        Edim        Dm 
so check all your armor and guns at the door we'll drink to the end of it all 
      Gm            F           C           Edim    Dm     Edim      Dm 
we'll check all our armor and guns at the door on Sunday after the war 
      Dm                        Am 
we'll drown it in brandy, we'll drown it in wine 
    Gm                          F 
when all of the ships have laid anchor ashore  
Dm                         Gm 
I'll pay for your sorrow if you'll pay for mine  
     Edim                       Dm 
when the ships have laid anchor ashore 
     Gm           F         C              Edim    Dm     Edim      Dm 
I'll pay for your sorrow if you'll pay for mine on Sunday after the war 

 

Bb             F         Gm 
after the war, after the war,  
       Gm      F              Edim      Dm 
all the bells will be ringing after the war  
Bb             F        G# 
after the war, after the war,  
   F            Edim  Dm 
oh nothing will be as before 
Am Gm                    F   Am 
on Sunday just after the war 


V2 

I'll see you on Sunday just after the war 
we'll wipe all the mud & the blood from our boots 
the grunts & the brass, volunteers & recruits 
will carry their burdens no more 
they'll sell off their burdens at the old surplus store  
on Sunday after the war 
I'll try to get used to my house & my bed 
when the flags have been folded & put in the drawer  
i'll try to forget what I got in my head 
on Sunday just after the war 
when the flags have been folded & put in the drawer  
on Sunday after the war 

Chorus 2 

after the war, after the war,  
all the birds will be singing after the war  
after the war, after the war,  
oh nothing will be as before 
on Sunday just after the war 

V3 

the meadow is heavy with drink from our veins  
& some mother's son ain't no boy anymore 
I swear I won't even try to explain 
how meadows & fingers are stained 
if you ask me I swear I won't try to explain  
on Sunday after the war 
so i'll see you on Sunday just after the war 
 we'll cast our remembrance down in the grave  
where so many others who no one could save  
are smothered in brothers as brave 
we'll cast our remembrance down in the grave  
on Sunday after the war 

Chorus 3 

after the war, after the war,  
they're always recruiting after the war 
after the war, will everything be as before  
on Sunday just after the war
