England Dan and John Ford Coley - Matthew INTRO: Am D Am D
Am                  C            F
Matthew crossed the river on his horse

            Dm           Bb              G       Am
Said, "This bullet in my side is getting worse"

             C               F
Called in to fight without a choice

        Dm                Bb
We were just too weak to move

       G
We got nothing left to prove
CHORUS:
    C  G  Am     C          F
And I, I, I just want to go home

G
Martha's alone

    C  G  Am     C          F
And I, I, I just want to go home

          Em                 Am    D  Am  D
I've been gone too long, too long

Am            C                F
Fever started dragging Matthew down

      Dm             Bb          G    
And I hope we find a doctor or a town

  Am               C             F
Today we left good people on the ground

          Dm               Bb
They were just too weak to move

       G
We got nothing left to prove
CHORUS:
    C  G  Am     C          F
And I, I, I just want to go home

G
Martha's alone

    C  G  Am     C          F
And I, I, I just want to go home

          Em                 Am    A
I've been gone too long, too long
BRIDGE:
          Dm            Bb
Well they hit us in the morning 

    F                           C      G
And cannon balls made us all go down

     Dm            Bb
They hit us in the morning

        F                              C      
And the cannon balls scared us half to death

              E E7 Am
Never felt so scared__
INTERLUDE: F C G Am G F C G
Am          C              F
I have seen all that I can stand

        Dm               Bb                   G     Am
And the cotton's burning black throughout our land

            C            F
Had Matthew been a wiser man

        Dm               Bb
We were just too weak to move

       G
We got nothing left to prove
CHORUS:
    C  G  Am     C          F
And I, I, I just want to go home

G
Martha's alone

    C  G  Am     C          F
And I, I, I just want to go home

          Em                 Am    D  Am  D  Am  D  Am
I've been gone too long, too long
