Peace In Our Time

a beautifully haunting little ballad by ec&a . one of my faves from goodbye cruel world , and it was pretty easy to figure out . song is in 3/4 time and the key of D major . Intro : F C A Verse 1 : D out of the aeroplane stepped chamberlain with a condemned man’s stare D D but we all cheered wildly , a photograph was taken , D7 G as he waved a piece of paper in the air Em Em/D# Em7 A now the disco machine lives in munich and we are all friends A7 A and i slip on my italian dancing shoes as the evening descends Chorus : D Dmaj7 D6 D7/A and the bells take their toll once again in victory chime G Bm Em A and we can thank god that we’ve finally got D peace in our time Verse 2 : D there’s a man going round taking names no matter who you claim to be D as innocent as babies , a mad dog with rabies , D7 G you’re still a part of some conspiracy Em Em/D# meanwhile there’s a light over the ocean Em7 A burning brighter than the sun A7 and a man sits alone in a bar and says "oh god , A what have we done?" Chorus : D Dmaj7 D6 D7/A and the bells take their toll once again in victory chime G Bm Em A and we can thank god that we’ve finally got D peace in our time instrumental Bridge : D A7 F# Bm E A Bm Verse 3 : D they’re lighting a bonfire upon every hilltop in the land D just another tiny island invaded when he’s got D7 G the whole world in his hands Em Em/D# and the heavyweight champion fights in the Em7 A international propaganda star wars A7 there’s already one spaceman in the white A house , what do you want another one for?
