 G     C   	 B      Em
I slept as I dreamed of a time long a-go.
     B    Em   C     Am
I saw an army of rebels dancing on air.
 G      C       B
I dreamed as I slept. I could see the camp fires,
Em      Bm       Em     Bm
A song of the battle that was born in the flames,
    Em     Bm     G
And the rebels were waltzing on air


 G       C      B     Em
I danced with a girl to the tune of a waltz
     B       Em    C     Am
That was written to be danced on the battle-field

G		 C       B
I danced to the song of a voice of a girl
Em     Bm    Em      Bm
A voice that called, 'Stand till we fall.
  Em     Bm      G
We stand till all the boys fall.'


   G   	   C       B      Em
As we danced came the news that the war was not won
   B      Em     C      Am
Five armies were coming with carriage and gun.
      G      C       B
Through the heart of the camp swept the news from the front.
 Em        Bm   Em       Bm
A cloud crossed the moon. A child cried for food.
  Em      Bm      G
We knew the war could not be won.


   G       C      Bm      Em
So we danced with a rifle to the rhythm of the gun.
   Bm         Em      C    Am
In a glade, through the trees, I saw my only one.
     G        C     B
Then the earth seemed to rise, hell hot as the sun.
  Em      Bm         Em     Bm
The soldiers were dying. There was a tune to the sighing.
  Em     Bm    G
The song was an old rebel one.


    G      c     B       Em
As the smoke of our hopes rose high from the field,
  B      Em         C      Am
My eyes played tricks through the moon and the trees.
 G     C     B
I slept as I dreamed I saw the army rise.
 Em       Bm  Em       Bm
A voice began to call, Stand till you fall
  Em     Bm    G
The tune was an old rebel one.

Enjoy!!
