As recorded by Peter, Paul and Mary (From the 1965 Album A SONG WILL RISE) [Intro] G Em A D [Verse 1]
D           C    Am        D
Our fathers bled at Valley Forge

             C        D
The snow was red with blood

                C    Am        D
Their faith was worn at Valley Forge

      G     Em  A      D
Their faith was brotherhood
[Chorus]
D
Wasn't that a time?

              Am
Wasn't that a time?

          D   C           D
A time to try the soul of men

              Em       D    Am  D
Wasn't that a terrible time?
[Verse 2]
D             C      Am       D
Brave men who fought at Gettysburg

           C  D
Now lie in soldiers' graves

               C       Am        D
But there they stemmed the rebel tide

    G     Em    A         D
And there their faith was saved
[Chorus]
D
Wasn't that a time?

              Am
Wasn't that a time?

          D   C           D
A time to try the soul of men

              Em       D    Am  D
Wasn't that a terrible time?
[Verse 3]
D            C     Am           D
The wars are long, the peace is frail

           C     D
The madmen come again

            C  Am        D
There is no freedom in a land

      G    Em  A       D
Where fear and hate prevail
[Chorus]
D
Isn't that a time?

             Am
Isn't that a time?

          D   C           D
A time to try the soul of men

                      Am    D
Isn't that a terrible time?
[Verse 4]
D           C    Am        D
Our fathers bled at Valley Forge

             C        D
The snow was red with blood

                C    Am        D
Their faith was worn at Valley Forge

      G     Em  A      D
Their faith was brotherhood
[Out-Chorus]

Wasn't that a time?

              Am
Wasn't that a time?

          D   C           D
A time to try the soul of men

D
Wasn't that a terrible time?
