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
