[D] [A]
[G] [D]
The fearful struggles ended now [A] and peace smiles on our land
[G] And though we've [D] yielded we have proved [A] ourselves a faithful [D] band
We've fought them long, we've fought them well, [A] we've fought them night and day
[G] And bravely [D] struggled for our rights [A] while wearing of [D] the gray
[G] And now that we [D] have ceased the fight and pledged our sacred word
[G] That we against [D] the union's might [E] no more will draw [A] the sword
We [D] feel despite the sneers of [A] those who never smelt the fray
[G] That we've a [D] manly honest right [A] to wear another gray
[A] [G] [D]
[A] [D] Our cause is lost no more we fight [A] against overwhelming power
[G] All weary are [D] our limbs and drenched [A] with many a [D] battle shower
We feign would rest for want of strength [A] we yield them up the day
[D] And lower the flag so proudly born [A] while wearing of the gray
[G] Defeated's not [D]
dishonored, no of honor not bereft
We [G] should thank [D] God that in our breast [E] this priceless [A] boon is left
[D] And though we weep, tis for those [A] brave who stood in proud array
[D]
Beneath our flag and nobly died [A] while wearing [D] of the gray
When [A] [G]
[D] [A] [D]
in the ranks of war we [A] stood and faced the deadly hail
[G] Our simple suits [D] of gray [A] composed our only [D] coats of mail
And of those awful hours that marked the [A] bloody battle day
[G] In memory we [D] would still be seen a wearing of the gray
[G] Oooo should we [D] reach that glorious place where waits the sparkling crown
[G] For everyone [D] who for the [E] right his soldier life [A] lay down
[D] God grant to us the privilege upon [A] that happy day
[G] Of clasping [D] hands with those who [A] fail the wearing of the gray
[G] [D] [G] [D] [E] [D]
