When their sons go off fighting and lose their lives I said

Ebm
I know we must fight to keep our freedom

But I know there's got to be a better way

then vocally ad lib it with various echoed 'NО!'s and 'Woah-oh's and stuff
for a bit then:

N.C.
WARWARWARWARWARWARWARWARWARWARWARWARWARWARWARWARWARWARWARWAR... etc.

Note:

During the verses -  the 
Ebm
 changes slightly like, and I can't say
 for sure what to here are the chords it might be, it could be all
 of them - but it makes playing the verses more interesting anyway!
