'In The News' by Kris Kristofferson

I think I've figured out the finger picking and chords for In The News. This is my interpretation and I'm posting it so I'll have access to it where ever I am, so I hope it isn't a copyright issue. Unfortunately the blog formatting doesn't seem to publish blank spaces, so the chord progressions above the lyrics didn't work out.

D
Read about the sorry way he done somebody's daughter
A D
Chained her to a heavy thing and threw her in the water
D
And she sank into the darkness with their baby son inside her
A D
A little piece of truth and beauty died


D
Burning up the atmosphere and cutting down the trees
A D
The billion dollar bombing of a nation on it's knees
D
Anyone not marching to their tune they call it treason
A D
Everyone says God is on his side


D G
See the lightning, hear the cries
A D
Of the wounded in a world in holy war
G
Mortal thunder from the skies
A D
Killing everything they say they're fighting for


D G
Broken babies, broken homes
A D
Broken-hearted people dying everyday
G
How'd this happen, what went wrong
A D
Don't blame God, I swear to God I heard him say


Chorus
D G
"Not in my name, not on my ground
A D
I want nothing but the ending of the war
G
No more killing, or it's over
A D
And the mystery won't matter anymore"


D G
Broken dreamers, broken rules
A D
Broken-hearted people just like me and you
G
We are children of the stars
A D
Don't blame God, I swear to God he's crying too
