The General Acoustic chords by Dispatch

Bb                F
There was a decorated general with a heart of gold
    C               G
That likened him to all the stories he told
    D#              A#
Of past battles won and lost, and 🏷Legends of old
    F
A seasoned veteran in his own time

    Bb             F
On the battlefield, he gained respectful fame
     C             G
With many medals of bravery and stripes to his name
     D#                  A#
He grew a beard as soon as he could to cover the scars on his face
     F
And always urged his men on

Verse 2:
      Bb             F
But on the eve of a great battle with the infantry in dream
      C                G
The old general tossed in his sleep and wrestled with its meaning
      D#             A#
He awoke from that night to tell what he had seen
        F
And walked slowly out of his tent

      Bb             F
All the men held tall with their chests in the air
       C            G
With courage in their blood and a fire in their stare
       D#             A#
And it was a grey morning and they all wondered how they would fare
         F
Till the old general told them to go home


Chorus:
    Bb    F    C    G      D#
He said, "I have seen the others, and I have discovered
      A#          F
That this fight is not worth fighting
   Bb  F      C
And I've seen their mothers
  G     D#
And I will no other
    A#      F
To follow me where I'm going

  Bb     F         C   G        D#
So take your shower, shine your shoes, you got no time to lose
   A#          F
You are young and you must be living
   Bb     F        C   G         D#
So take your shower, shine your shoes, you got no time to lose
    A#         F
You are young and you must be living
    F         (G  Bb C Bb G  F)x2
Go now, you are forgiven"



Outro:
  Bb      F
Go now, you are forgiven
  C       G
Go now, you are forgiven
  D#      A#
Go now, you are forgiven
F
Go
