Intro:
H5
These days will be remembered by America's noble sons
                                                          F#5
If it hadn't had been for Irishmen what would your Union've done
H5                                           E5
Hand to hand we fought them all in the burning sun
H5                                                       F#5                   H5                 
Stripped to the pants we did advance at the battle of Bull Run

On a cold October's day

The battlefield at Gettysburg

On a plaque I read my name

I see their lines blue and gray

Verse 2:
F#5                                         H5
I've seen a lot of wicked things
F#5                                  H5
Heard a lot of people cry
F#5                                          H5 
I know it couldn't touch the pain
F#5                           H5
Of seeing 50,000 die
  D5       A5         F#5
I saw the sun fall away
       D5             A5                 F#5
The moon shone white on their graves

Down in Gettysburg Saw them fall

Waited for the word Never came

Papa fought a bloody war

His father in the one before

Walking through the haunted field
F#5                                            H5

I watched men die blue and gray
