I Call It Murder


Capo 2nd fret A D Dsus4 D Planes come in and land at night in Delaware. A D Dsus4 D Cameras are forbidden to take pictures there. F#m Bm Coffins draped in flags come down the ramps at last. F#m E Faithful unto death, their future is their past. D A Some might call it folly, some might cry, "Crusade!" D A Some might call it justified and some a proud parade. F#m D Some might call it self-defence, some might take that further, E A But today, sad to say, I call it murder. E A Today, sad to say, I call it murder.

Sunni murders Shia, it goes on and on.
Shia tortures Sunni, death in Babylon.
Each of them kills soldiers with a roadside bomb.
Kills without a second thought, without a qualm.

Some might call it folly, some might cry, "Crusade!"
Some might call it justified and some a proud parade.
Some might call it self-defence, some might take that further,
But today, sad to say, I call it murder.
Today, sad to say, I call it murder.

Now the President says we must stay the course.
Force against us will be met by greater force.
Never short of victory will killing cease.
Never mind the sorrows of the friends of peace.

Some might call it folly, some might cry, "Crusade!"
Some might call it justified and some a proud parade.
Some might call it self-defence, some might take that further,
But today, sad to say, I call it murder.
Today, sad to say, I call it murder.
Today, sad to say, I call it murder.

(Words and music by Tom Paxton, 2007)
