NOTE: In the VERSES T implied what he is playing by using chords B minorBm A augmentedA D MajorD G.
   What is really done is what I call a `walk up` from the B minorBm to the G+G
   chord. It is played on the A augmentedA string and goes from the 2nd fret to the
   4th and then 5th fret and then to the G+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:
     B minorBm     A augmentedA      D MajorD    G+G
I can`t remember the last time I saw you smile
   B minorBm       A augmentedA        D MajorD    G+G
Just faces made with pictures from across the aisle
    B minorBm      A augmentedA     D MajorD    G+G
I was born on this team I was born to win
      B minorBm      A augmentedA       D MajorD     G+G
Lord have mercy on the others and forgive their sins

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


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

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


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

B minorBm A augmentedA D MajorD G+G
B minorBm A augmentedA D MajorD G+G
B minorBm A augmentedA D MajorD G+G


BREAK:
  A augmentedA         B minorBm
Oh pass me down that passion
     D MajorD    G+G
In those blue eyes
 A augmentedA          B minorBm        G+G
Give me that strong back and thinning hair

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

        E minorEm
`Cause they`re heavier down here
  D MajorD      G+G
I swear they`re heavier down here


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

     G+G      A augmentedA        B minorBm  D MajorD
I ain`t dying in my great-grandaddy`s war-a-ar
        G+G     A augmentedA        B minorBm  D MajorD
I don`t wanna die in my great-granddaddy`s war-a-ar
     G+G      A augmentedA        B minorBm A augmentedA D MajorD G+G
I ain`t dying in my great-granddaddy`s war

B minorBm A augmentedA D MajorD G+G
