         D                 A
Well I don't know what you doin'

                 A7
Fightin' in this silly war

D
You're not a yankee, love

B7
Nor a grey-back confederate

E7
Tryin' to keep these slaves abhorred

                       D
You were just a simple man

                    A                  A7
Tryin' to do these things the best you can

D
Now it's time to come on home

Got a baby in the oven

That I need to see before she gets old

Fightin' in this stupid war

I've killed so many men
