This is from the point of view of a boy [C#m] soldier in the Civil War, [Em] a mascot, I guess he was called.
And it's been acted [F#] upon by the [G] folk, the famous invisible [E] hand of folk music.
[A]
A fine musician, a [E] car player by the name of G.E. Smith, who used to be in a ghost band for many years.
