[A]
November of 63, high up over [D] Tennessee, we were holding lookout [A] mountain.
We couldn't see down through the clouds, but there wasn't any [D] doubt that there was Yankees there beyond [A] the county.
The Union guns began to roll, firing up from the [E] valley floor [D] and through the mist, it looked [A] like lightning.
There must have been spouting flame, up through the fog they came.
[D] I will not lie, Lord it [A] was frightening.
[D] And the chaplain said, [A] boys we're up so high, [G] if you listen you'll [D] hear Gabriel's trumpet [A] sounding.
[D] And heaven's just [A] a step away, [G] for the brave men who will die on [A] lookout mountain.
