Standard (EADGBE)

Verse

Oh the storm is threatening

My very life today

If I dont get some shelter

I'm gonna fade away

Chorus

War children, it's just a shot away, it's just a shot away

War children, it's just a shot away, it's just a shot away

(verse)

See the fire sweeping

Our very streets today

Burns like red coal carpet

Mad bull lost his way

(chorus)

War children, it's just a shot away, it's just a shot away

War children, it's just a shot away, it's just a shot away

(break over chorus)

(chorus)

Well mother (or murder?) it's just a shot away, it's just a shot away

Well mother/murder it's just a shot away, it's just a shot away

(chorus)

Brothers sisters, it's just a kiss away, it's just a kiss away

well mother/murder it's just a kiss away, kiss away, kiss away

(Guitar lead Outro over chorus)
