Not in original Key, but this is how we play it.

Verse 1:
B minorBm
The gray smoke from the battle
A7A7        B minorBm
rollin' over the hill.

The fires, the dead, the dying
  A7A7         B minorBm
are in my memory ever still.

Chorus:
        A7A7
Oh, can't you hear,
G+G        D MajorD
hear that angel band
           A7A7
singing, "Come home, soldier,
G+G        BB
to the Promised Land."

Verse 2:
B minorBm
Longstreet, he stole away and cried
   A7A7             B minorBm
when Lee gave him his orders to attack.

In his mind's eyes he could see
   A7A7               B minorBm
that most of his boys would not be back.

Chorus:
        A7A7
Oh, can't you hear,
G+G        D MajorD
hear that angel band
           A7A7
singing, "Come home, soldier,
G+G        B minorBm
to the Promised Land."

Verse 3:
B minorBm
Willy Johnson and me,
A7A7             B minorBm
Rebel soldiers both from Tennessee.

Willy, he's lyin' by my side -
A7A7                  B minorBm
spoke these words to me, and then he died:

Chorus:
        A7A7
Oh, can't you hear,
G+G        D MajorD
hear that angel band
           A7A7
singing, "Come home, soldier,
G+G        B minorBm
to the Promised Land."
