Verse:
  DmDm                 A#A#       A augmentedA
Oh pass the rum on down the line it's getting pretty cold
     DmDm                   A#A#      A augmentedA
It's been nine straight days of hell and burning fires in the snow
   DmDm               A#A#         A augmentedA
And I haven't seen my baby since that old black ship set sail
   DmDm                   A#A#     A augmentedA      DmDm
Still we're holding out 'till winter dies and hoping our strength prevails

DmDm A#A# A augmentedA
DmDm A#A# A augmentedA DmDm

Verse:
  DmDm                A#A#         A augmentedA
The full moon peaks around the clouds as the grey wolves cry
  DmDm                 A#A#      A augmentedA
The hour's getting late and we've drunk every bottle dry
   DmDm                      A#A#   A augmentedA
Just one more march from dusk 'till dawn 'till we finally arrive
    DmDm                   A#A#     A augmentedA    DmDm
At the gates of those who long ago burned our houses and took our lives

Chorus:

And we'll sing
 DmDm             A#A#       A augmentedA
"We are the Dead South who came across the sea
  DmDm                 A#A# A augmentedA    DmDm
To take back our lives and leave this land of misery
   DmDm     A#A#     A augmentedA       DmDm
Our will is our weapon our hearts forever bound
       DmDm        A#A#         A augmentedA      DmDm
Come on now tilt your bottle back and let's go grab another round

Verse:
  DmDm                 A#A#      A augmentedA
The wind is at our back the ground is shaking at our feet
 DmDm                 A#A#       A augmentedA
Marching for the gates we pray the lord my soul to keep
  DmDm               A#A#       A augmentedA
For if we ever get ourselves out from this mess alive
     DmDm                   A#A#  A augmentedA   DmDm
I'll be singing this song for years to say I'm happy we survived

And we'll sing
