And, by the way, I’m just a bass player, but this song is so awesome
that I decided to tab it for the guitar.  I’m almost positive that all
the bass does is play the root note of the corresponding chord.


    D		  A
The start of Armageddon
	 B	       G
And it's just another day
D		A
We all saw the news
	   G
Nothing to say
   D		     A
So many friends are missing
    B		    G
And family members gone
    D		    A
And we all pray to God
	     G
Help them be strong
    D		  A
And now we stand together
  B	    A	  G
Remembering that day
    D
The lives we live
     A		   G
Will never be the same

    D				A
And we don’t know why
    B			F#
The innocent die
     G
Will this world ever
A		  B
Find a way to change?
    D				A
And we don’t know why
       B				F#
But we know it’s not right
   G
We don’t know why
   A		   B
So many had to die
   G
We don’t know why
   A		   D
So many had to die

D			 A
Hate has turned to others
		B		    G
For their religion or their skin
    D
But hate can’t solve
    A		   G
The problem it began
D		 A
Every one is angry
B	 A   G
People are afraid
    D
And no one knows
     A		     G
What decisions will be made

    D				A
And we don’t know why
    B			F#
The innocent die
     G
Will this world ever
A		  B
Find a way to change?
    D				A
And we don’t know why
       B				F#
But we know it’s not right
   G
We don’t know why
   A		   B
So many had to die
   G
We don’t know why
   A		   D
So many had to die


Solo (Just play the same chords as for the verses.)


D				A
We don’t know why (Don’t know why)
    B			     F#
The innocent die (Don’t know why)
     G
Will this world ever
A		  B
Find a way to change?
    D				    A
And we don’t know why (Don’t know why)
	 B				   F#
But we know it’s not right (Don’t know why)
     G
Will any of us
A		B
Ever be the same?
     G
Will any of this
A		D
Ever be the same?


I don’t know why

The innocent die

Will any of us

Ever be the same?

Will any of this

Ever be the same?


I know that there’s a lead guitar part, but like I said,
I’m a bassist, so I wouldn’t be able to tab that or the solo.
Feel free to email me with things like corrections or if you
think you have the solo.

Oh, if you’ve never heard the song, you can download it
from www.mp3.com.  Just go to the punk charts, and it should be
up near the top.
