This is how Dan plays the chords, standard construction works just as well:
D 10 9 12 11 x x
A 6 7 11 9 x x
Bm 7 9 9 7 7 7
G x 10 12 12 12
D
Let's start a war for the kids
A
A purpose for which to unite
D
Make them some words they can mince
G* D A
What they don't know, They won't mind
D
Find them a foe for the fight
A
And stories to tell as they age
D
Then maybe time will decide
G* D A
Which ones keep and which ones fade
Chorus:
Bm * D
There's the deepest sleep in my life,
Bm* D

from which I am slowly coming to
A* Bm*
And every morning I wait for the news
A*
oh this is, this is post war blues
guitar solo
Make me a means to an end
Oh make me an ending in sight
Make me insightful again
What I can't see, I can't fight
Make me a fire to burn
burn all the letters I wrote
write me a list of concerns
If we are at peace
If we are at ease
I want to know
Chorus:
There's the deepest sleep in my life
from which I am slowly coming to
And every morning I wait for the news
Oh this is, this is post war blues
Oh this is, this is post war blues
