G Bm C G
Suddenly it's over, the war is fin'lly done
C G D
Soldiers in the desert sand, still clingin' to a gun
G Bm C G
No-one is the winner an' everyone must lose
C G D G
Suddenly the war is over: that's the news
Suddenly celebrity is somethin' back in style
Back to runnin' tabloid for a while
Pain's almost everywhere, the whole world's got the blues
Suddenly the war is over: that's the news
D G C
That's the news, that's the news
G C G D
That's the ever-lovin', blessed, headline news
G Bm C G
Someone's missin;' in Modesto, an' it's sad about the clues
C G D G
Suddenly the war is over: that's the news
Suddenly the cost of war is somethin' out of sight
Lost a lotta heroes in the fight
Politicians do all the talkin': soldiers pay the dues
Suddenly the war is over, that's the news
Chorus 2:
That's the news, that's the news
That's the ever-lovin', blessed, headline news
Politicians do all the talkin': soldiers pay the dues
Suddenly the war is over, that's the news
