Fightin' in this silly war
D            A
You're not a yankee, love

Nor a grey-back confederate
E
Tryin' to keep these slaves abhorred

                       D
You were just a simple man
                    A
Tryin' to do these things the best you can
D
Now it's time to come on home
H
Got a baby in the oven
C#
That I need to see before she gets old

Well I don't know what you doin'
          F#m
Fightin' in this silly war
          A            F#m
I'm not a yankee or a grey-back anymore
A
I've killed so many men

Just to kill so many more

Just wanna see my baby before I die

In this shitstorm
