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 battles [Bb] 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 of [G] bravery and stripes to his [Ebm] name
He grew a beard [Bb] as soon as he could to cover the [F] scars on his face
And [C] always urged his men on
[Bb] But on the eve of [F] a great battle with the infantry in dream
[C] The old general tossed in [Db] his sleep a lesser whip
Its [Eb] meaning he awoke from the [Bb] night To tell what he had [F] seen
And walked slowly out of his tent All the land held tall with their chests
in the air With [C] their courage [D] in their blood
And their fire in their stare And [Eb] it was a great morning
And [Bb] they all wondered how they would [F] fare To the old general [Bb] told them to go home
He said I [F] have seen [Cm] the others
[G] And I [Eb] have discovered [Bb] That this fight is [F] not worth fighting

[Bb] _ [F] _ _ _ _ [G] But _
_ [F] _ _ _ [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 extended [F] no further
The men could go as they [Bb] pleased
But not a man moved [C] Their eyes 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
