Dm All the pictures on the wall C The sand lying on the floor Dm The bed upstairs, still unmade Dm The dust float in the light C The people just left A# All laughter and mess F/A Forgetting this and that Gm F C And rushing back The front door open The music still playing in one room Down the hall Towels on the floor And then it's quiet Just the bees and birds The summer haze Of the trees And the air Feeds it all Feeds it all Chorus: Dm We can all feel it C A# Like a light hand on your back F/A Welcoming you Dm We can all feel it C A# Like a light hand on your back F/A Welcoming you Gm F C The day before we went to war C The day before we went to war C Dm We can all feel it All the parasols and kids at play The sea so still and calm Blue as the cloudless sky Just the gentle hum Of the summers goings on Broken by the sudden rush of two planes Flying low and fast Into the sun Into the sun Chorus The day before we went to war The day before we went to war We can all feel it Chorus The day before we went to war The day before we went to war The day before we went to war You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA  A#  C  Dm  F  Gm  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
