[Verse 1]
Am
The Black smoke from the battle

G                Am
rollin' over the hill.
The fires, the dead, the dying
G                         Am
Haunting my memories ever still.
[Chorus]
C               G
Oh, can't you hear,

F         G     C
hear that angel band

                     G
singing, "Come home, soldier,

F      G        Am
to the Promised Land."
[Verse 3]
Am
Willy Johnson and me,

G                             Am
Rebel soldiers both from Tennessee.
Willy, he's lyin' by my side -
G                                     Am
spoke these words to me, and then he died:
[Chorus]
C               G
Oh, can't you hear,

F         G     C
hear that angel band

                     G
singing, "Come home, soldier,

F      G        Am
to the Promised Land."
[Verse 2]
Am
Longstreet, he stole away and cried

     G                          Am
when Lee gave him his orders to attack.
In his mind's eyes he could see
     G                             Am
that most of his boys would not be back.
[Chorus]
C               G
Oh, can't you hear,

F         G     C
hear that angel band

                     G
singing, "Come home, soldier,

F      G        Am
to the Promised Land."
