NOTE: In the VERSES T implied what he is playing by using chords Bm A D G.
   What is really done is what I call a `walk up` from the Bm to the G
   chord. It is played on the A string and goes from the 2nd fret to the
   4th and then 5th fret and then to the G chord. You can choose which
   way you want to play this. I do it bothways depending on what mood I
   am in. Please keep this in mind when playing and rating this tab.


            GREAT GRANDADDY`S WAR
            THE MULLIGAN BOTHERS

CAPO: 4th FRET

INTRO:
NONE

VERSE:
     Bm     A      D    G
I can`t remember the last time I saw you smile
   Bm       A        D    G
Just faces made with pictures from across the aisle
    Bm      A     D    G
I was born on this team I was born to win
      Bm      A       D     G
Lord have mercy on the others and forgive their sins


CHORUS:
  A        G     D  G
I know that I`m supposed to be angry
     A         Bm       G
For the life of me I can`t figure out what for
     A       Bm     D   G
If I can lie down with someone who loves me
      G      A         Bm A D G  Bm A D G
Instead of dying in my great-granddaddy`s waaaaaaar


VERSE:
     Bm    A       D   G
We were born here crying with our egos bruised
  Bm      A       D     G
Below the Mason Dixon with the red state blues
          Bm   A       D    G
We`ve got a lot of heroes here screaming southern pride
    Bm      A       D   G
But a hero`s just a villain to the other side


VERSE:
      Bm        A     D    G
There`s a hundred years of bitterness in our blood
    Bm        A      D     G
And it flows with the conviction of a forty-day flood
      Bm     A       D     G
Until we`re out of ammunition and the rivers run red
      Bm   A        D   G
Over what Jesus meant but what he never said


CHORUS:
  A        Bm     D  G
I know that I`m supposed to be angry
     A         Bm       G
For the life of me I can`t figure out what for
     A       Bm     D   G
If I can lie down with someone who loves me
      G      A         Bm A D G
Instead of dying in my great-granddaddy`s waaaaaaar

Bm A D G
Bm A D G
Bm A D G


BREAK:
  A         Bm
Oh pass me down that passion
     D    G
In those blue eyes
 A          Bm        G
Give me that strong back and thinning hair

   A          Bm
I`ll take those callused hands
      D      G
And I will use them for good
   A        Bm      G
But let me choose my own cross to bear

        Em
`Cause they`re heavier down here
  D      G
I swear they`re heavier down here


CHORUS:
  A        Bm     D  G
I know that I`m supposed to be angry
     A         Bm       G
For the life of me I can`t figure out what for
   A        Bm      D   G
I believe that I`d be fortunate to die here

     G      A        Bm  D
I ain`t dying in my great-grandaddy`s war-a-ar
        G     A        Bm  D
I don`t wanna die in my great-granddaddy`s war-a-ar
     G      A        Bm A D G
I ain`t dying in my great-granddaddy`s war

Bm A D G
