[Verse 1]

G
Black smoke rising to the sky
D
Step aside and shield your eyes
G             Em              D  G
I'll wake you when the war is over
G
And in the end when it's me and you
D
We're gonna build the world as new
G             Em              D  G
I'll wake you when the war is over

[Chorus]

         Em          D             G
From the brick built cities of the north
Em        D     G
Stoke the fire, scorch the earth
                 C            D            G      Em
'Cause we're the boys and the girls of the new brigade
      C            D      G
We're never giving up the fight

[Verse 2]

G
This world has got so much to give
D
We only got so long to live
G             Em              D  G
I'll wake you when the war is over
G
We're gonna fight, we're gonna crawl
D
We're walking out of this a-standing tall
G             Em              D  G
I'll wake you when the war is over

[Chorus]

         Em          D             G
From the brick built cities of the north
Em        D     G
Stoke the fire, scorch the earth
                 C            D            G      Em
'Cause we're the boys and the girls of the new brigade
      C            D      G
We're never giving up the fight

[Bridge]

Am       C                    G
Stand by me and I'll stand by you
Am               C                     G
Say the word and I'll do what you need me to

[Verse 3]

G
Black smoke rising to the sky
D
Another day is going to pass us by
G             Em              D  G
I'll wake you when the war is over
G
And all the places we have a roam
D
From land or sea or foam
G             Em              D  G
I'll wake you when the war is over

[Chorus]

         Em          D             G
From the brick built cities of the north
Em        D     G
Stoke the fire, scorch the earth
                 C            D            G      Em
'Cause we're the boys and the girls of the new brigade
      C            D      G
We're never giving up the fight

G             Em              D  G
I'll wake you when the war is over

And I'll wake you when the war is over
