[A#m]  [G#7] (x2)


[Verse 1]
[A#m]            [G#7]            [A#m]              [G#7]
Until the phi-losophy, which hold one race su-perior,
      [A#m]    [G#7]  [A#m]    [G#7]
And a-nother;  in-ferior.
   [A#m]     [G#7]   [A#m]         [G#7]
Is finally,  and permanently,
    [A#m]      [G#7]     [A#m]      [G#7]
Dis-credited,  and a-bandoned,
              [A#m]  [G#7]      [A#m]  [G#7]
Everywhere is war,   me say war.


[Verse 2]
     [A#m]            [G#7]           [A#m]
That until there no longer, first class,
                 [G#7]              [A#m]    [G#7]
And second class citizens, of any nation.
[A#m]                    [G#7]               [A#m]             [G#7]
Until the colour of a man's skin, is of no more signifi-cance,
         [A#m]                [G#7]      [A#m]  [G#7]
Than the colour of his eyes;  me say war.


[Verse 3]
     [A#m]             [G#7]
That until the basic human rights,
    [A#m]                   [G#7]
Are equally guaranteed to all,
        [A#m]            [G#7]     [A#m]  [G#7]
Without regard to race;  dis a-war.
     [A#m]            [G#7]   [A#m]              [G#7]
That until that day,  the dream of lasting peace,
[A#m]            [G#7]   [A#m]           [G#7]         [A#m]    [G#7]
World citizen-ship, rule of inter-national mo-rality,
        [A#m]                       [G#7]
Will re-main in but a fleeting il-lusion,
          [A#m]  [G#7]            [A#m]    [G#7]
To be pur-sued,  but never at-tained,
                  [A#m]  [G#7]  [A#m]  [G#7]
Now everywhere is war.       War.


[Verse 4]
    [A#m]          [G#7]           [A#m]
And until the ig-noble, and un-happy regimes,
     [G#7]                     [A#m]  [G#7]  [A#m]        [G#7]
That hold our brothers in An-gola,  in Mozambique,
      [A#m]    [G#7]        [A#m]     [G#7]
South Africa,  subhuman bondage,
          [A#m]     [G#7]           [A#m]    [G#7]
Have been toppled,  utterly des-troyed,
                    [A#m]  [G#7]      [A#m]  [G#7]
Well, everywhere is war,   me say war.


[Bridge 1]
[A#m]              [G#7]  [A#m]             [G#7]
War in the East,     war in the West.
[A#m]           [G#7]  [A#m]            [G#7]
War up North,     war down South.
[A#m]       [G#7]  [A#m]            [G#7]
War, war,     rumours of war.


[Verse 5]
    [A#m]            [G#7]   [A#m]           [G#7]
And until that day,  the African conti-nent,
     [A#m]            [G#7]  [A#m]           [G#7]
Will not know peace,  we Africans will fight.
           [A#m]       [G#7]   [A#m]              [G#7]
We find it necessary,  and we know we shall win,
   [A#m]              [G#7]     [A#m]     [G#7]           [A#m]  [G#7]
As we are confident, in the victory, of good over evil.


[Coda]
          [A#m]        [G#7]         [A#m]  [G#7]
Good over evil, yeah!  Good over evil.
          [A#m]        [G#7]         [A#m]  [G#7]
Good over evil, yeah!  Good over evil.
