My folks shipped out of old England, [Bbm] and this dude [Fm] was young, so I knew I had the right to make [C] my choice. _
[Fm] And there ain't no Yankee politician [Bbm] gonna make me, [Fm]
so I signed up [C] to ride with the [Fm] boys. _ _
We rode along with Quantrell and [Bbm] we cheered for [Fm] General Lee.
And we took that battle, red luck, silver [C] grace. _
[Fm] We thought we'd won this bloody war, [Bbm] but then and there [Fm] that day,
our young men found [C] our sweet hearts we [Fm] had to break. _
_ [Bbm] They tell me [F] war is over, [Fm] surrender now I [Bbm] should.
Lay these thirteen stars right down, [C] but I don't believe I could.
_ Every soul [D] I ever loved lies beneath this battle [Cm] and mud.
And if I see ya, I'm gonna kill ya if [Fm] I can. _
All full of spit and thunder, [Bbm] and yelling [Fm] how we'd won, and how this war was easy as [C] can be. _
[Fm] For a while we found women who got home [Bbm] and took away [Fm] the sun,
and the fingers [C] crossed their hands and [Fm] gave them leave. _
_ [Bbm] They tell me war is [Fm] over, surrender now I should.
[Bbm] Lay these thirteen stars right down, but I don't believe I [C] could.
[Fm] Every soul I ever loved lies beneath this battle and mud.
And if I see ya, [C] I'm gonna kill ya [Fm] if I can. _
_ Times past and hate be [Bbm] nothing, I've been a [Fm] hell of a man.
_ War has changed the [C] rats and thieves. _
[Fm] And boy, I'm telling Satan's rat [Bbm] I've chased him [Fm] every day.
And I swear to [Gm] God he's always [Fm] testing me. _
_ [Bbm] They tell me war is [Fm] over, surrender now I should.
[Bbm] Lay these thirteen stars right down, but I don't believe [C] I could.
[Fm] _ Every soul I ever loved lies beneath this battle and mud.
And if I see ya, [Cm] I'm gonna kill ya [Fm] if I can. _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Gm] _ _ [Fm] _ _ _
So I rattle on, my voice is [Bbm] dead, and all I [Fm] got is hate.
And I'll soon be glory bound, [C] I'll pray for help. _
[Fm] This old cold will do to me, won't [Bbm] let up, but I won't pinch you [Fm] down.
So if you need me [C] face to face, you're [Fm] going to hell. _
_ [Bbm] They tell me war is [Fm] over, surrender now I should.
[Bbm] Lay these thirteen stars right down, but I don't believe I [C] could.
Every soul I ever [Bbm] loved lies beneath this battle and [Fm] mud.
And if I see ya, [Cm] I'm gonna kill ya [Fm] if I can. _
_ [Bbm] They say this war is over, [Fm] surrender now I should.
And [Bbm] lay this pixie flag right down, but I don't believe I [C] could.
Cause every soul I ever loved lies beneath this southern mud.
And if I see ya, [C] I'm gonna kill ya [Fm] if I can. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ [Fm] _ _ _
And if I see ya, I'm gonna kill ya _
[F] if I [Fm] can. _ _ _ _
