Guitar chord Happy Xmas

War Is Over (Happy Xmas) was written by John Lennon and Yoko Ono as part of a peace campaign in the late 60s and early 70s. It was released during the Vietnam War, in 1971, and serves as a call for peace and against the conflict. The song is remembered both for its powerful message and its catchy melody.
