[VERSE 1]
Through the [C]smoke, and the mud, and the [Bb]smoke we walked, be[F]hind Robert E. [C]Lee
Sixty miles from Richmond, to [Bb]face the Union [C]army
We dug our holes, and we built a wall, cuz we [Bb]knew there'd be a [C]fight
If the bluecoat wearing [Bb]soldiers, c[F]rossed the river that [C]night

[VERSE 2]
[C]Sure as hell, that [Bb]sundown came, [F]a hundred thousand [C]men
And it sure did shock me Lord, to see, [Bb]kin killing [C]kin
The cannonballs were heavy, filled with [Bb]iron, and steel, and [C]lead
And the James River [Bb]water, [F]ran a bloody [C]red

[BRIDGE]
[Bb]Lo--rd is it [C]right
[Bb]Did you mean for [F]me to kill my [C]brother, here tonight

[INSTRUMENTAL]

[VERSE 3]
It's [C]been one hundred [Bb]years, and [F]as I look a[C]round
I see a mighty city where there [Bb]once was a battle[C]ground
I thought when Lee surrendered, [Bb]we would fight no [C]more
But the ghost of Lee can [Bb]still see us [F]fight the civil [C]war

[OUTRO]
[Bb]Lo--rd is it [C]right
[Bb]Did you mean for [F]me to kill my [C]brother, here tonight
