Always loved this song. I had a bit of trouble with the key and the chords! I decided
Capo should be on fret 1.. it sounds alrightish. It's the closest you can get anyway!
I know it may look a bit simple.. but there's not a lot more to it than this! I do a few
hammer ons and stuff to jazz it up, but that's optional, make it what you want.
BAGPIPES:

Verse:
G D/F E
We stand, hang our heads disbelieving
G D/F E
then not knowing how could such a thing be wrong
G D/F E
we wonder just what they must be thinking
G D/F E
to take a life of one so young
Pre-Chorus
E D/F E
So tell me.. when will it be over now, how soon?
E D/F E
how far must we go, to prove to you?
Verse:
We wait and we wonder how this happened
killing the old, the innocent, the young
while sons follow in fathers footsteps not understanding
that what they do could somehow be so wrong
Pre-Chorus/Chorus
E D/F E
So tell me.. when will it be over now, how soon?
E D/F E
how far must we go, to prove to you?
G D/F E
So we will wait and we'll wonder
INTERLUDE: G D/F E
Verse:
No regrets, no forgiveness, no compasssion
these brave heroes only know to hit and run
slowly my sadness turns to rage and we wonder
how can these scars ever heal, when all is said and done
Pre-Chorus/Chorus
E D/F E
So tell me.. when will it be over now, how soon?
E D/F E
how far must we go, to prove to you?
E D/F E
Please tell me..when will it be over now, how soon?
E D/F E
how far must we go, to prove to you?
G D/F E
So we wait and we wonder

About artist:
Collins sang the lead vocals on eight American chart-toppers between 1984 and 1989; seven as a solo artist and one with Genesis. His singles, often dealing with lost love, ranged from the drum-heavy "In the Air Tonight", to the dance pop of "Sussudio", to the political statements of his most successful song, "Another Day in Paradise". His international popularity transformed Genesis from a progressive rock group to a regular on the pop charts and an early MTV mainstay. Collins' professional career began as a drummer, first with obscure rock group Flaming Youth and then more famously with Genesis. In Genesis, Collins originally supplied backing vocals for front man Peter Gabriel, singing lead on only two songs: "For Absent Friends" from 1971's Nursery Cryme album and "More Fool Me" from Selling England by the Pound, which was released in 1973. On Gabriel's departure in 1975, Collins became the group's lead singer. As the decade closed, Genesis's first international hit, "Follow You, Follow Me", demonstrated a drastic change from the band's early years. His concurrent solo career, heavily influenced by his personal life, brought both him and Genesis commercial success. According to Atlantic Records, Collins' total worldwide sales as a solo artist, as of 2002, were over 100 million.[2]
