{Am     E         No more weapons of war.     repeat...}


Am     E          Weapons of war,         what a bloody waste you are.
Am     E         
All you do is harm      and bring horror.
F   C   E          We don’t         want you         here no more.
Am     E          Weapons of war,         you were forged in
Am     E          Sauron’s den               where Mordor sprung
F   C   E          from    Middle             Earth
Am     E          comes the sound         of the black ringwraith
Am     E          petrifying all               in his way
F   C   E          fear      is the weapon of war but
F   C   F   C    we won’t fear,             fear no more    weapons of
Am  A             war.                 No
Dm  Bb           more                weapons of
F      C             war.                 No
E      A            more                weapons of war.

Am     E          Weapons of war          don’t you come back for more.
Am     E         
You have killed enough          and destroyed us!
F   C   E          We don’t         want you         here no more.
Am     E          Weapons of war          know what we’d have by now if
Am     E          what we gave toward war       we used to plough and
F   C   E          plant    seeds for          little Earth where we
Am     E          banned all bombs        and melted down the guns
Am     E          into ploughshares        until there were none. Where
Am     E         
tear and nerve gas       became a thing of the past. Now the
Am     E          future we see               we know will last. Where

Am     E         
torture and      intimidation     are
Am     E          no more than   a tickling for fun. Where
Am     E         
flamethrower destruction        finally ends, and the
Am     E          Fellowship has made it           past the rubble and remains of the

Am     E         
tanks and planes.                     They no longer shoot living things.
Am     E          Instead we dance together      and together we sing ‘cause
Am     E         
submarines      and every other           war machine are
Am     E          dismantled and removed         away from the scene

Am     E         
along with land mines             and those punished for war crimes to
Am     E          insure we won’t repeat,           NO,     those dreadful times! Now
F   C   E          we won’t fear              weapons of war.
F   C   F   C    we won’t fear              fear no more    weapons of
Am  A             war.                 No
Dm  Bb           more                weapons of
F      C             war.                 No
E      A            more                weapons of war.
