On the

upon that

Am space

.

The whole world sees the

Chorus:

Am Steppe  G by  C steppe  G the  F shor G test  Am war  F can  G be  Am won ,  F can  G be  Am won .  Ma G ny  F stones  G can  F kill  G the  Am whore ,  F sin g G ly  Am none ,  F sin g G ly  Am none .  And  G to g C et h G er ,  F what  G we  Am will  we’re  Dm perp etrating  E still .  Dm C E  Am Ma G ny  C germs  G can  F make  G one  Am ill ,  F sin G gly  Am none ,  F sin G gly  Am none .

Place the blame on the Kremlin masterminds, 
and the White House over here, 
And the people who pay taxes on their hatred, greed, and fear. 
And all who stand to profit by war machine supply. 
Place the blame on the unknown voters, too, who never bat an eye.

(Chorus)

Place the blame on the Bomb’s designers, and the makers of each part, 
And all who man the radar scan to watch the nightmare start. 
And all the unknown voters, from shore to crowded shore, 
Who gave one fool the power to set off the final war.
ÇChorusÈ
