Am                 E      C
Well, it's another fine day of nation-building
      Am       E    C
Let's have a parade
        Am                          E              C
You can dance on the graves and the bones of the children
       Am           E   C
If you know what to say

[Chorus 1]
          C                        G
  And you know it's begun from the beat of the drum
          Am                         F
  And the screams from the mouths of babes
         C             G               Am   F
  And we pray as we're watching the charade
C         G               Am
  Welcome to your wedding day

[Verse 2]
           Am                    E             C
And it's a damn good day for the heart and the mind
        Am                E    C
And the party's happening here
           Am                      E           C
If you'll avert your gaze from the word on the sign
       Am                 E  N.C.
Let me whisper it in your ear:
                      Am   E
'Cause the sign says "Run"
           C          Am   E
'Cause the sign says "Run"
           C          Am   E
'Cause the sign says "Run"
           C          Am   E C
'Cause the sign says "Run"

[Chorus 2]
          C                        G
  And you know it's begun from the crack of the guns
          Am                         F
  And the screams from the mouths of babes
         C             G               Am   F
  And we pray as we're watching the charade
C         G               Am  F
  Welcome to your wedding day
C         G
  Welcome to your wedding...

And we want peace
         Am         E C
Yeah, we want peace
         Am          E        C
Well, we don't negotiate with terror
   Am          E        C
We don't negotiate with terror
   Am          E        C
We don't negotiate with terror

We only watch them beg

[Chorus 3]
          C                        G
  And you know it's begun from the crack of the guns
          Am                         F
  And the screams from the mouths of babes
         C             G               Am   F
  And we pray as we're watching the charade
C         G               Am  F
  Welcome to your wedding day
C         G
  Welcome to your wedding...
