I've been trying to figure out the chords to Warfare for a long time now. I'm not even sure what key it's in. Its that modal scale... I think it's D, but I'm not sure. Can anyone help?

We do it in A. It hangs on that A chord for the first 3 lines and then changes briefly to a G in the last line of the verse or chorus before going back to A. I believe my husband uses a modal tuning on the banjo/

I've only heard it by Ginny Hawker and am now going to look for Estil Ball's version. Did he write it?

Powerful song...

There's a version with lyrics and chords posted in an old thread: WARFARE.
