CAPO 2

INTRO:

E minorEm              D MajorD C majorC
I was there in the winter of '64
     D MajorD          B minorBm      C majorC
When we camped in the ice at Nashville's doors
   G+G          D MajorD    E minorEm
Three hundred miles our trail had led
  D MajorD          B minorBm    C majorC
We barely had time to bury our dead
     C majorC               D MajorD
When the Yankees charged and the colors fell
D MajorD          B minorBm   C majorC
Overton hill was a living hell
    C majorC              D MajorD
When we called retreat it was almost dark
D MajorD               E minorEm
I died with a grapeshot in my heart

C majorC  D MajorD     E minorEm
Say a prayer for peace
C majorC     G+G    D MajorD
For every fallen son
C majorC   D MajorD   E minorEm
Set my spirit free
C majorC     G+G    D MajorD
Let me lay down my gun
A minorAm            C majorC
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

E minorEm     D MajorD C majorC
In June of 1944
D MajorD          B minorBm      C majorC
I waited in the blood of Omaha's shores
G+G        D MajorD    E minorEm
Twenty-one and scared to death
D MajorD         B minorBm  C majorC
My heart poundin' in my chest
C majorC             D MajorD
I almost made the first seawall
D MajorD          B minorBm   C majorC
When my friends turned and saw me fall
    C majorC              D MajorD
I still smell the smoke, I can taste the mud
D MajorD               E minorEm
As I lay there dying from a loss of blood

C majorC  D MajorD     E minorEm
Say a prayer for peace
C majorC     G+G    D MajorD
For every fallen son
C majorC   D MajorD   E minorEm
Set my spirit free
C majorC     G+G    D MajorD
Let me lay down my gun
A minorAm            C majorC
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

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

C majorC  D MajorD     E minorEm
Say a prayer for peace
C majorC     G+G    D MajorD
For every fallen son
C majorC   D MajorD    E minorEm
Set our spirits free
C majorC     G+G    D MajorD
Let us lay down our guns
A minorAm            C majorC
Sweet mother Mary we're so tired
    C majorC            D MajorD      E minorEm
But we can't come home 'til the last shot's fired
C majorC           E minorEm        C majorC
'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:]
No we can't come home
