G+G      B7B7      E minorEm     C majorC
brother on brother lying on the fields
G+G     E minorEm   C9C9    G+G
only the devil is keepin’ score
G+G          B7B7        E minorEm     C majorC
your blonde haired boys are scattered long these hills
G+G       E minorEm         C majorC   G+G
picked clean like cotton in a rich man’s war

G+G    B7B7  E minorEm  C majorC
lay down your holy irons
G+G      E minorEm        C9C9  G+G
lay down your guns and shining bayonets
G+G    B7B7  E minorEm  C majorC
lay down your holy irons
G+G        E minorEm    C9C9    G+G
it’s gonna’ be a job to raise the dead

G+G     B7B7       E minorEm   C majorC
got no mansion on the yonder mount
G+G       E minorEm   C9C9   G+G
no plantation pillars all in white
G+G    B7B7       E minorEm   C majorC
just a southern boy behind a plough
G+G         E minorEm      C9C9   G+G
swept up like nothin’ in a poor man’s fight

G+G    B7B7  E minorEm  C majorC
lay down your holy irons
G+G      E minorEm        C9C9  G+G
lay down your guns and shining bayonets
G+G    B7B7  E minorEm  C majorC
lay down your holy irons
G+G        E minorEm    C9C9    G+G
it’s gonna’ be a job to raise the dead


D MajorD        D8 - D MajorD      D7º F7º
farewell cordelia let me hold ya close
E minorEm     G+G       C majorC
so i can remember how it feels
D MajorD        D8 - D MajorD      D7º    F7º
if a bullet brings me down before i make it home
E minorEm           G+G       C majorC
ya know that i’ll be dreamin’ of you still
    A9A9
yes i will…

G+G B7B7 E minorEm C majorC - G+G E minorEm C majorC G+G

G+G     B7B7      E minorEm    C majorC
little soldiers all in blue and grey
G+G   E minorEm      C9C9    G+G
every one of us a’ bleedin’ red
G+G    B7B7        E minorEm  C majorC
and when this broken body falls away
G+G      E minorEm        C9C9    G+G
we’ll all lie down in the same earthen bed

G+G    B7B7  E minorEm  C majorC
lay down your holy irons
G+G      E minorEm        C9C9  G+G
lay down your guns and shining bayonets
G+G    B7B7  E minorEm  C majorC
lay down your holy irons
G+G        E minorEm    C9C9    G+G
it’s gonna’ be a job to raise the dead
