D              G
So here we go again
D                   G
The old to and fro again
Em                         A
Backwards and forwards and forwards and backwards
Em                    A
You can say anything, just don’t say that word
D                    G
Play up and play the game
D                    G
Changing to stay the same
Em                    A
Do you remember when? No I don’t either
Em                    A
All this remembering we’re none the wiser
A
It’s time to let go and say

[Chorus]
D                 G
Don’t mention the war
Em                  A
Don’t talk of those days
F#              Em
What good is it for?
F#                Em
Don’t mention the war
D           G
Let history lie
Em                A
Kiss the old days goodbye
F#               Em
They’re no help anymore
F#                A
Don’t mention the war

D                   G
It may come as some surprise
D                          G
I’m told that the sun will rise
Em                           A
Come and forget all the your wrongs and my wrongs
Em                         A
Live and let live and let bygones be bygones
D                   G
Come join the great charade
D                 G
Don’t mention the marmalade
Em                    A
On with our helmets and back in the trenches
Em                    A
Sharing a joke with the Tommys and Frenchies
A
And just like before we’ll say

[Chorus]
D                 G
Don’t mention the war
Em                  A
Don’t talk of those days
F#              Em
What good is it for?
F#                Em
Don’t mention the war
D           G
Let history lie
Em                A
Kiss the old days goodbye
F#               Em
They’re no help anymore
F#                A
Don’t mention the war
