I'm gonna add one of my favorite anti-war songs to the list. Words by Fran Minkoff, music by Fred Hellerman of the Weavers, first sung in 1965 by Joe Frazier of the Chad Mitchell Trio on album "Violets of Dawn".

The corn and the profits are high.

The chords above are based on John Denver's version - apparently he learnt it from Paul Prestopino.
I can't guarantee the chords are 100% accurate.
