  • Verse 1
     
    Bb F
  • There was decorated general with a heart of gold
    Cm Gm
    That likened him to all the stories he told
  • Eb Bb
    Of past battles won and lost and legends of old
    F
  • A seasoned veteran in his own time
    Bb F
    On the battlefield he gained respect for fame
  • Cm Gm
    With many medals of bravery and stripes to his name
    Eb Bb
  • He grew a beard as soon as a he could to cover the scars on his face
    F
    And always urged his men on
  • Bb F
    But on the eve of great battle with the infantry in dream
    Cm Gm
  • The old general tossed in his sleep a lesson with its meaning
    Eb Bb
    He awoke from the night to tell what he had seen
  • F
    And walked slowly out his tent
    Bb F
  • All the men held tall with their chests in the air
    Cm Gm
    With the courage in their blood and the fire in their stare
  • Eb Bb
    And it was a grey morning and they all wondered how they would fare
    F
  • Till the old general told them to go home
     
    He said...

    Chorus
     
  • Bb F Cm Gm Eb
    I have seen the others and i have discovered
    Bb F
  • That this fight is not worth fighting
    Bb F Cm Gm Eb
    And i've seen their mothers and i will no other
  • Bb F
    To follow me where i'm going, so...
    Bb F Cm
  • Take a shower and shine your shoes
    Gm Eb
    You got no time to lose
  • Bb F
    You are young men you must be living

    Verse 2
     
  • But the men stood fast with their guns on their shoulders
    Not knowing what to do with contradicting orders
    The general said he would do his own duty but extended it no further
  • The men could go as they pleased
    But not a man moved their eyes gazed straight ahead
    Till one by one they stepped back and not a word was said
  • The old general was left with his own words echoing in his head
    He then prepared to fight
