Beautiful song! music, lyrics...everything!
After reading the other tabs on this song I was kind of dissapointed,
I was going to comment with the corrections, but there were more than
I expected, small ones off course, but yet important. I just hope that
the chords are in the right spot! Enjoy!

Lyin' in the park On a beautiful day

Siren's passin' Fire engine's red

Someone's house is burning down on a day like this
Verse:
Am G
The evening comes And we're hangin' out
G F
On the front step And a car goes by with the windows rolled down
Am G
And that, war song is playin why can't we be friends

Someone is screamin' and cryin' in the apartment upstairs

Funny the way it is And if you think about it

Hear the laughter, while the children play war

One kid walks 10 miles to school While another's droppin' out

On a soldier's last breath His baby's being born
