[VERSE 1]
Now [C]over there across the sea they've got another war,
But [F]oh, I wonder if they know just what they're fighting [C]for,
In that [G7]war, that crazy [C]war.
[VERSE 2]
In 19[C]17, you know, we helped them win their fight,
But [F]all we got was a lesson in what Sherman said was [C]right,
In that [G7]war, that crazy [C]war.
[VERSE 3]
I was a [C]simple country lad; I lived down on the farm,
I'd [F]never even killed a gnat nor done a body [C]harm,
Until that [G7]war, that crazy [C]war.
[VERSE 4]
One [C]day the sheriff caught me, said "Come along, my son,
Your [F]Uncle Sam is needing you to help him tote a [C]gun,
In that [G7]war, that crazy [C]war."
[VERSE 5]
They [C]took me down to the courthouse, my head was in a whirl,
And [F]when the doctors passed on me, I wished I'd been a g[C]irl,
In that [G7]war, that crazy [C]war.
[VERSE 6]
They [C]took me out to the rifle range to hear the bullets sing,
I [F]shot and shot that whole day long and never hit a [C]thing,
In that [G7]war, that crazy [C]war.
[VERSE 7]
The [C]captain said to fire at will and I said who is he,
The [F]old fool got so raving mad he fired his gun at [C]me,
In that [G7]war, that crazy [C]war.
[VERSE 8]
When [C]first we got to sunny France, I looked around with glee,
But [F]rain and kil-o-meters was all that I could [C]see,
In that [G7]war, that crazy [C]war.
[VERSE 9]
A [C]cannonball flew overhead, I started home right then,
The [F]corporal he was after me but the general beat us [C]in,
In that [G7]war, that crazy [C]war.
[VERSE 10]
And [C]now we're back at home again from over there in France,
The [F]enemy lost the battle and we lost all our [C]pants,
In that [G7]war, that crazy [C]war.
[VERSE 11]
I run [C]all over Europe a-trying to save my life,
There [F]will come another war, I'll send my darling [C]wife,
In that [G7]war, that crazy [C]war.
[VERSE 12]
Well, [C]wars may come and wars may go, but get this on your mind,
There [F]will come another war, I'll be hard to [C]find,
In that [G7]war, that crazy [C]war.
Now [C]over there across the sea they've got another war,
But [F]oh, I wonder if they know just what they're fighting [C]for,
In that [G7]war, that crazy [C]war.
