I Gslept as I Cdreamed of a Bmtime long a-gEmo.
I saw an Bmarmy of rEmebels dCancing on aAmir.
I Gdreamed as I Cslept. I could Bmsee the camp fires,
EmA song of the Bmbattle that was Emborn in the Bmflames,
And the Emrebels were Bmwaltzing on Gair
I Gdanced with a Cgirl to the Bmtune of a wEmaltz
That was Bmwritten to be dEmanced on tChe battle-fAmield
GI danced to the sCong of a voice Bmof a girl
EmA voice thaBmt called, Em'Stand till wBme fall.
We Emstand till Bmall the boys Gfall.'
As we Gdanced came the Cnews that the Bmwar was not wEmon
Five Bmarmies were cEmoming with cCarriage and gAmun.
Through the Gheart of the Ccamp swept the Bnews from the front.
A Emcloud crossed the Bmmoon. A Emchild cried for Bmfood.
We Emknew the war Bmcould not be Gwon.
So we Gdanced with a Crifle to the Bmrhythm of the Emgun.
In a Bmglade, through the Emtrees, I saw Cmy only Amone.
Then the Gearth seemed to Crise, hell Bmhot as the sun.
The Emsoldiers were Bmdying. There was a Emtune to the Bmsighing.
The Emsong was an Bmold rebel Gone.
As the Gsmoke of our Chopes rose Bmhigh from the fEmield,
My Beyes played Emtricks through the Cmoon and the Amtrees.
I Gslept as I Cdreamed I Bmsaw the army rise.
A Emvoice began to Bmcall, EmStand till you Bmfall
The Emtune was an Bmold rebel Gone.

G C Bm Em
I slept as I dreamed of a time long a-go.
Bm Em C Am
I saw an army of rebels dancing on air.
G C Bm
I dreamed as I slept. I could see the camp fires,
Em Bm Em Bm
A song of the battle that was born in the flames,
Em Bm G
And the rebels were waltzing on air
G C Bm Em
I danced with a girl to the tune of a waltz
Bm Em C Am
That was written to be danced on the battle-field
G C Bm
I danced to the song of a voice of a girl
Em Bm Em Bm
A voice that called, 'Stand till we fall.
Em Bm G
We stand till all the boys fall.'
G C Bm Em
As we danced came the news that the war was not won
Bm Em C Am
Five armies were coming with carriage and gun.
G C B
Through the heart of the camp swept the news from the front.
Em Bm Em Bm
A cloud crossed the moon. A child cried for food.
Em Bm G
We knew the war could not be won.
G C Bm Em
So we danced with a rifle to the rhythm of the gun.
Bm Em C Am
In a glade, through the trees, I saw my only one.
G C Bm
Then the earth seemed to rise, hell hot as the sun.
Em Bm Em Bm
The soldiers were dying. There was a tune to the sighing.
Em Bm G
The song was an old rebel one.
G C Bm Em
As the smoke of our hopes rose high from the field,
B Em C Am
My eyes played tricks through the moon and the trees.
G C Bm
I slept as I dreamed I saw the army rise.
Em Bm Em Bm
A voice began to call, Stand till you fall
Em Bm G
The tune was an old rebel one.
