[Verse 1]
C Bb F C
Through the smoke, and the mud, and the blood we walked, behind Robert E. Lee
Bb C
Sixty miles from Richmond, to face the Union army
Bb C
We dug our holes, and we built a wall, cuz we knew there'd be a fight
Bb F C
If the bluecoat wearing soldiers, crossed the river that night
[Verse 2]
C Bb F C
Sure as hell, that sundown came, a hundred thousand men
Bb C
And it sure did shock me Lord, to see, kin killing kin
Bb C
The cannonballs were heavy, filled with iron, and steel, and lead
Bb F C
And the James River water, ran a bloody red
[Bridge]
Bb C
Lo--rd is it right
Bb F C
Did you mean for me to kill my brother, here tonight
[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
C Bb F C
It's been one hundred years, and as I look around
Bb C
I see a mighty city where there once was a battleground
Bb C
I thought when Lee surrendered, we would fight no more
Bb F C
But the ghost of Lee can still see us fight the civil war
[Outro]
Bb C
Lo--rd is it right
Bb F C
Did you mean for me to kill my brother, here tonight
