Guitar chords with lyrics

  • Difficulty: Beginner 👶
Key: D

Intro:

G  Em A D


Verse 1:
D           C    Am        D
Our fathers bled at Valley Forge
             C        D
The snow was red with blood
                C    Am        D
Their faith was worn at Valley Forge
      G     Em  A      D
Their faith was brotherhood


Chorus:
D
Wasn't that a time?
              Am
Wasn't that a time?
          D   C           D
A time to try the soul of men
              Em       D    Am  D
Wasn't that a terrible time?


Verse 2:
D             C      Am       D
Brave men who fought at Gettysburg
           C  D
Now lie in soldiers' graves
               C       Am        D
But there they stemmed the rebel tide
    G     Em    A         D
And there their faith was saved


Chorus:
D
Wasn't that a time?
              Am
Wasn't that a time?
          D   C           D
A time to try the soul of men
              Em       D    Am  D
Wasn't that a terrible time?


Verse 3:
D            C     Am           D
The wars are long, the peace is frail
           C     D
The madmen come again
            C  Am        D
There is no freedom in a land
      G    Em  A       D
Where fear and hate prevail


Chorus:
D
Isn't that a time?
             Am
Isn't that a time?
          D   C           D
A time to try the soul of men
                      Am    D
Isn't that a terrible time?


Verse 4:
D           C    Am        D
Our fathers bled at Valley Forge
             C        D
The snow was red with blood
                C    Am        D
Their faith was worn at Valley Forge
      G     Em  A      D
Their faith was brotherhood


Out-Chorus:
D
Wasn't that a time?
              Am
Wasn't that a time?
          D   C           D
A time to try the soul of men
D
Wasn't that a terrible time?
