Verse 1:

      C majorC              Bb majorBb         FF       C majorC
Through the smoke, and the mud, and the smoke we walked, behind Robert E. Lee

               Bb majorBb       C majorC
Sixty miles from Richmond, to face the Union army

                       Bb majorBb        C majorC
We dug our holes, and we built a wall, cuz we knew there'd be a fight

            Bb majorBb     FF           C majorC
If the bluecoat wearing soldiers, crossed the river that night

Verse 2:

C majorC         Bb majorBb      FF         C majorC
Sure as hell, that sundown came, a hundred thousand men

                    Bb majorBb     C majorC
And it sure did shock me Lord, to see, kin killing kin

                    Bb majorBb          C majorC
The cannonballs were heavy, filled with iron, and steel, and lead

          Bb majorBb   FF      C majorC
And the James River water, ran a bloody red

Bridge:

Bb majorBb      C majorC
Lo--rd is it right

Bb majorBb        FF       C majorC
Did you mean for me to kill my brother, here tonight

Instrumental:
|C majorC  |Bb majorBb |FF  |C majorC  | x2

Verse 3:

   C majorC        Bb majorBb     FF     C majorC
It's been one hundred years, and as I look around

                Bb majorBb        C majorC
I see a mighty city where there once was a battleground

                Bb majorBb        C majorC
I thought when Lee surrendered, we would fight no more

             Bb majorBb      FF        C majorC
But the ghost of Lee can still see us fight the civil war

Outro:

Bb majorBb      C majorC
Lo--rd is it right

Bb majorBb        FF       C majorC
Did you mean for me to kill my brother, here tonight

|C majorC  |Bb majorBb |Bb majorBb |C majorC  |C majorC  |C majorC  |C majorC  | |Bb majorBb FF |C majorC  |C majorC  |C majorC  |C majorC  |
