Study War No More


A.K.A. Down by the Riverside
Traditional (Black Spiritual)
Rise Up Singing chapter: Peace, p.163
E - - - / B7 - E - ://: A - / E - / B7 - E - ://
Or as in the video:
G - - - / D (D7 if you like) - G - ://: C - / G - / D D7 G - ://

An old and good song. The verses are the slightest bit restrained in a tantalizing way that makes the first bars of the chorus particularly joyful and invigorating, I think. Always better when sung in a group, of course.
