G#m B E

[Verse]
G#m
I noticed how the leaves have changed
B
It's come to wintertime
E
I saw a bit of news today
E
I thought maybe I would drop a line
G#m     B                    E
        Brother, how was the war?

[Verse]
G#m
I heard you met a woman there
B
I hope she makes you smile
E
All the shots they show of Vietnam
E
I swear I see your face once in a while

[Chorus]
G#m     B                    E
        Brother, how was the war?
            G#m
Did you get over?
        F#                         E
Did you find what you were looking for?

[Verse]
G#m
She asks me all the time, she says
B
"Is he still alive?"
E
I remember all the games we'd play
E
You'd jump. You'd run. You'd seek. You'd never hide

[Chorus]
G#m     B                    E
        Brother, how was the war?
             G#m
Did you stay sober?
        F#                         E
Did you find what you were looking for?

N.C.
Brother, how was the war?

[Verse]
G#m             B
The days get so long in here
E
You wonder what you've lost and sold
G#m              B
All the bullshit passes year to year
E
Brother, did you get over?

[Bridge]
G#m       B               C#m                 E
I see the draft committee signs
G#m      B                  C#m               E
McCarthy says we're winning hearts and minds
         C#m                                     E
But your 4f brother just hopes you make it back alive

[Verse]
G#m
I know I haven't written much
B
I'm doing okay, I guess
E
They say I make parole in sixteen weeks
E
I don't know, I'll try my best
G#m     B                    E
        Brother, how was the war?

[Verse]
G#m             B
The days get so long in here
E
You wonder what you've lost and sold
G#m              B
All the bullshit passes year to year
E
Brother, did we get older
       G#m     B       E
On the day the war had begun?
G#m          B       E
When were we ever young?
