D G
I have heard the cannons thundering all night,
D
And I cannot help but wonder,
A
Why's the Rebel Cause so right?
D G
And the morphine seems to do no good at all.
A D
I would run away, if I would not fall.
[Verse 2]
G
Well I joined the Southern cavalry for fun.
D
Must have rode a thousand horses;
A
Always had a way with a gun.
D G
Now I'm among the horseless riders lying still.
A D
Swallowed up by the Cause on the Widow's Hill.
[Chorus]
B F#
And I dreamed of a rose in a Spanish garden,
B F# A
And I kissed you and placed it in your hair.
D G
And, if I'm ever on my feet again, I will,
A D
I will run all the way just to meet you there.
[Solo]
[Verse 3]
G
Through the day I watched those Southern boys go down.
D
And they lay like Georgia peaches
A
Bruised and broken on the ground.
D G
Through the night I wondered was it worth the pain,
A D
And I cried not revenge, I called your name.
[Chorus]
B F#
And I dreamed of a rose in a Spanish garden,
B F# A
And I kissed you and placed it in your hair.
D G
And, if I'm ever on my feet again, I will,
A D
I will run all the way just to meet you there.
[Outro]
A D
I will run all the way just to meet you there.
[Fade out]
A D
