[Verse 1]
Am Dm Now first I thought a snake had got me Am E7 It happened dreadful quick Am Dm Am E7 Am T'was a bullet bit my leg, right off I got sick Am Dm Am E7 I came to in a wagon load of ten more wounded men Am Dm Am E7 Am Five was dead by the time we reached that bloody tent
[Chorus 1]
C F Give me some of that Soldier's Joy C G7 You know what I mean C F C Gsus/B Am I don't want to hurt no more, my leg is turning green
[Verse 2]
Am Dm The the doctor came and looked at me Am E7 And this is what he said Am Dm Your dancing days are done, son Am E7 Am It's a good thing you ain't dead Am Dm Then he went to work with a carving knife Am E7 Sweat fell from his brow Am Dm 'Bout killed me trying to save my life Am E7 Am When he cut that lead ball out
[Chorus 2]
C F Gimme some of that Soldier's Joy C G7 Ain't you got no more C F Hand me down my walking cane Gsus/B Am I ain't cut out for war
[Verse 3]
Am Dm Red blood run right through my veins, Am E7 run all over the floor
Run all over the floor
Am Dm Run right down his apron strings
And it run right down his apron strings
Am E7 Am Like a river out the door Am Dm He handed me a bottle, said Am E7 Son drink deep as you can Am Dm He turned away and he turned right back Am E7 Am With a hacksaw in his hand
[Chorus 3]
C F C G7 Gimme some of that Soldier's Joy, you know what I like C F C Gsus/B Am Bear down on that fiddle boys just like Saturday night C F C G7 Gimme some of that Soldier's Joy, you know what I crave C F C Gsus/B Am I'll be hitting that Soldier's Joy till I'm in my grave C Gsus/B Am till I'm in my grave.....
