E minorEm D MajorD C majorC
I was there in the winter of '64
A minorAm D MajorD E minorEm
When we camped in the ice at Nashville's doors
G+G C majorC D MajorD
Three hundred miles our trail had led
A minorAm C majorC E minorEm
We barely had time to bury our dead
E minorEm C majorC D MajorD
When the Yankees charged and the colors fell
A minorAm C majorC E minorEm
Overton hill was a living hell
E minorEm C majorC D MajorD
When we called retreat it was almost dark
A minorAm C majorC E minorEm
I died with a grapeshot in my heart
Em(C majorC) D MajorD C(E minorEm) the parenthesis is where im not sure which chord
Say a prayer for peace to play. you can decide for yourself.i put it
C majorC G+G D MajorD the way i play it.
For every fallen son
Em(C majorC) D MajorD C(E minorEm)
Set my spirit free
C majorC G+G D MajorD
Let me lay down my gun
A minorAm C majorC E minorEm
Sweet mother Mary I'm so tired
C majorC D MajorD E minorEm
But I can't come home 'til the last shot's fired
(same chords from here on out)
In June of 1944
I waited in the blood of Omaha's shores
Twenty-one and scared to death
My heart poundin' in my chest
I almost made the first seawall
When my friends turned and saw me fall
I still smell the smoke, I can taste the mud
As I lay there dying from a loss of blood
Say a prayer for peace
For every fallen son
Set my spirit free
Let me lay down my gun
Sweet mother Mary I'm so tired
But I can't come home 'til
the last shot's fired
bridge:
C majorC
I'm in the fields of Vietnam,
D MajorD
The mountains of Afghanistan
C majorC
And I'm still hopin', waitin', prayin'
D MajorD
I did not die in vain
Say a prayer for peace
For every fallen son
Set our spirits free
Let us lay down our guns
Sweet mother Mary we're so tired
But we can't come home 'til
the last shot's fired
'Til the last shot's fired
[Choir:]
Say a prayer for peace (for peace)
For our daughters and our sons
Set our spirits free (set us free)
Let us lay down our guns
[Trace:]
Sweet mother Mary, we're so tired
But we can't come home (No
we can't come home)
[Choir:]
'Til the last shot's fired
