[Verse 1]
[D] [D]
I am the son of a grassland farmer
[D] [D] [G]
Western Oklahoma nineteen forty three
[G] [G] [D] [D] [A]
I always felt grateful to live in the land of the free
[D] [D]
I gave up my father to South Korea
[D] [D] [G]
The mind of my brother to Vietnam
[G] [G] [D] [A7]
Now there's a banker who says I must give up my land
[D] [D]
There are four generations of blood in this topsoil
[D] [D] [G]
Four generations of love on this farm
[G] [G] [D] [D]
Before I give up I would gladly give up my right arm
[Chorus]
[A] [A] [D]
What are we making weapons for
[Bm] [G] [A] [D]
Why keep on feeding the war machine
[A] [A] [D]
We take it right out of the mouths of our babies
[A] [A] [D]
Take it away from the hands of the poor
[G] [D] [A] [D]
Tell me, what are we making weapons for
[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
[D] [D]
I had a son and my son was a soldier
[D] [D] [G]
He was so like my father, he was so much like me
[G] [G] [D] [D] [A]
To be a good comrade was the best that he dreamed he could be
[D] [D]
He gave up his future to revolution
[D] [D] [G]
His life to a battle that just can't be won
[G] [G] [D] [A7]
For this is not living, to live at the point of a gun
[D] [D]
I remember the nine hundred days of Leningrad
[D] [D] [G]
The sound of the dying, the cut of the cold
[G] [G] [D] [D]
I remember the moments I prayed I would never grow old
[Chorus]
[A] [A] [D]
What are we making weapons for
[Bm] [G] [A] [D]
Why keep on feeding the war machine
[A] [A] [D]
We take it right out of the mouths of our babies
[A] [A] [D]
Take it away from the hands of the poor
[G] [D] [A] [D]
Tell me, what are we making weapons for
[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
[D] [D]
For the first time in my life I feel like a prisoner
[D] [D] [G]
A slave to the ways of the powers that be
[G] [G] [D] [A7]
And I fear for my children, as I fear for the future I see
[D] [D]
Tell me how can it be we're still fighting each other
[D] [D] [G]
What does it take for a people to learn
[G] [G] [D] [D]
If our song is not sung as a chorus, we surely will burn
[Chorus]
[A] [A] [D]
What are we making weapons for
[Bm] [G] [A] [D]
Why keep on feeding the war machine
[A] [A] [D]
We take it right out of the mouths of our babies
[A] [A] [D]
Take it away from the hands of the poor
[G] [D] [A] [D] [D]
Tell me, what are we making weapons for
[Outro]
[D] [A] [D] [G6] [D] [D]
Have we forgotten
[D] [A] [D] [G6] [D] [D]
All the lives that were given
[D] [A] [D] [G6] [D] [D]
All the vows that were taken
[D] [A] [Asus4] [A]
Saying never again
[G] [Em] [D] [D]
Now for the first time
[D] [A] [D] [G6] [D] [D]
This could be the last time
[D] [A] [D] [G6] [D] [A]
If peace is our vision
[A7] [D]
Let us begin
[D] [A] [D] [G6] [D] [D]
Have we forgotten
[D] [A] [D] [G6] [D] [D]
All the lives that were given
[D] [A] [D] [G6] [D] [D]
All the vows that were taken
[D] [A] [Asus4] [A]
Saying never again, never again
[G] [Em] [D] [D]
Now for the first time
[D] [A] [D] [G6] [D] [D]
This could be the last time
[D] [A] [D] [G6] [D] [A]
If peace is our vision
[A7] [D] [A7] [D] [A7] [D]
Let us begin, let us begin
