The
G C
songs of the wars are as old as the hills,
G A7 D
They cling like the rust on the cold steel that kills.
G C
They tell of the boys who went down to the tracks
D C G
in a patriotic manner with the cold steel on their backs.
C
The patriot's dream is as old as the sky,
G A7 D
It lives in the lust of a cold callous lie.
G C
Let's drink to the men who got caught by the chill
D C G
of the patriotic fever and the cold steel that kills.
|G |C |G |A7 D |
|G |G C |D |C G |
The
G C
train pulled away on that glorious night,
G A7 D
the drummer got drunk and the bugler got tight.
G C
Well, the boys in the back sang a song of good cheer
D C G
while riding off to glory in the spring of their years.
G C
The patriot's dream still lives on today,
G A7 D
It makes mothers weep and it makes lovers pray.
G C
Let's drink to the men who got caught by the chill
D C G
of the patriotic fever and the cold steel that kills.

how could she tell those children their father was shot down.

was a young girl watching in the early after noon
G D/F# Em G D/F# Em
when she heard the name of someone who said he'd be home soon.
G D/F# Em G D/F# Em
She wondered how they got him, but the papers did not tell,
G D/F# Em G D/F# Em
there would be no sweet reunion, there would be no wedding bells.
G D/F# Em G D/F# Em
So she took her self in to her room and she turned the bed sheets down,
G D/F# Em D/F# G
she cried in to the silken folds of her new wedding gow--------.
