Kansas Cried Chords & Lyrics - Dean Brody

[G/Bb] - X10033

Capo 3

[D]He fell in [G/Bb]love with a girl named [D]Kansas
In the [G/Bb]fall of 186[D]3
A [G/Bb]farm boy and an officer's [D]daughter
In a [Bm]time when young [A]hearts shouldn't [G]dream

He said, "[G]Kansas, I'll love you for[D]ever,"
So she [G/Bb]married him under an August [D]sun
But as they [G/Bb]finished their vows, some [D]soldiers came through town
Said "We're [Bm]lookin' for the [A]willing and the [G]young," [A]

[CHORUS]
He left [D]standin' in her white dress
As [G]he bravely marched through the [D]night [G] [D]
And as she [D]fell to the ground
He [G]left to the [D]sound of hearing [A]sweet Kansas [D]cry

He learned how to hunt 'round Topeka
But he learned how to kill at Spring Hill
The blood and the smoke sure crushed any hope
That he'd find his way through that hell

[CHORUS]

[SOLO]

He wrote, "[Em]Dear Kansas, I, [G]fear that tonight I might [D]break your heart
'Cause the [Em]fog's rollin' in and we're [G]runnin' outta men and we've been [A]ordered to lead the charge,"

He thought of her in her white dress
As he bravely marched toward the line
And as he fell to the ground, he called her name out
And somewhere his sweet Kansas cried
