[Bb] [F] [G]
[Cm] [G] [C] [Ebm] [Bb]
[F] [Bb] There was a [F] decorated general with a heart of gold
[Cm] that likened him to [G] all the [F] stories he [Eb] told
of past [Bb] battles won and lost and legends [F] of old
a seasoned veteran in his own time
[Bb] On the battlefield [F] he gained respectful [C] fame
with many medals [G] of bravery and stripes to [Ebm] his name
He grew a beard [Bb] as soon as he could to cover the scars on his [C] face
and always urged his men [Bb] on
But on the eve of a great [Dm] battle with the infantry in view
[C] the old general tossed in [G] his sleep
the lesser with his [Eb] meaning he awoke from the [Bb] night
to tell what he had [F] seen
and walked slowly out of his tent
All the men held tall with their chests in the air
[C] with the courage [G] in their blood and the fire in their stare
And [Eb] it was a great morning [Bb] and they all wondered how they would [F] fare
till the old general [Bb] told them to go home

[Bb] the men stood [F] fast with their guns on their [Cm] shoulders
not knowing what to [G] do with the contradicting [Eb] orders
The general said he would [Bb] do his own duty but he would extend it [F] no further
The men could go as they [Bb] pleased
But not a man moved
Their eyes [C] gazed straight ahead
Till one by one they stepped back and [G] not a word was [Eb] said
And the old general was left [Bb] with his own words [F] echoing in his head
He then prepared to fight He [Bb] said
