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

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

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

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

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