[Intro] D G D G D [Verse]
                        G          D
I remember when I was a barefooted boy

G                      D
Climbing in a sycamore tree

                                  G           D
But now I'm a little older, got a rifle on my shoulder

                 A          D
Some fool made a soldier of me
[Chorus]
     G           A          D
Some fool made a soldier of me, ah ha!

      G                      D
And I ride in the rough cavalry

                                        G
Got a pretty gal waitin' for me, while I rot here in the army

     D           A          D
Some fool made a soldier of me
[Verse]
                          G          D
I told her we'd marry and build us a home

    G                  D
And raise us a big family

                                    G       D
But she's given all her charms to a blue uniform

                 A          D
Some fool made a soldier of me
[Chorus]
     G           A          D
Some fool made a soldier of me, ah ha!

      G                      D
And I ride in the rough cavalry

                               G
The day's getting' hotter, I'm near out of water

     D           A          D
Some fool made a soldier of me
[Verse]
                                     G
I told General Custer I'm a-dyin' of thirst

                              D
And the heat is a-getting' to me

                                      G
But he said, "Have no fear, there's a big river near"

     D           A          D
Some fool made a soldier of me
[Chorus]
     G           A          D
Some fool made a soldier of me, ah ha!

      G                      D
And I ride in the rough cavalry

                                G
We'll get there in the morn, to Little Big Horn
N.C. "Hey, General Custer, I think I see an Indian over there" N.C. "Yeah, ask her if she's got a friend for me"
     D           A          D
Some fool made a soldier of me
