Through the smoke, and the mud, and the blood we walked, behind Robert E. Lee
                              Bb             C
Sixty miles from Richmond, to face the Union army
                                              Bb                C
We dug our holes, and we built a wall, cuz we knew there'd be a fight
                        Bb         F                     C
If the bluecoat wearing soldiers, crossed the river that night
[Verse 2]
C                  Bb            F                  C
Sure as hell, that sundown came, a hundred thousand men
                                       Bb          C
And it sure did shock me Lord, to see, kin killing kin
                                        Bb                   C
The cannonballs were heavy, filled with iron, and steel, and lead
                    Bb     F            C
And the James River water, ran a bloody red
[Bridge]
Bb           C
Lo--rd is it right
Bb               F             C
Did you mean for me to kill my brother, here tonight

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