Chords for Nash Chase - Today I Killed A Man I Didn't Know

_ [C] _ _ [Bm] _ [Dm] _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Today I killed a man [Am] I didn't know
I [D] _
held my rifle [G] high and shot him low
Though I'd like to think he really [Am] was to blame
_ [D] Well I'm giving you, or never [G] will, his name
I _ _ _ guess that someone somewhere [Am] knew him well
_ [D] And they all cry when they are told that [G] he is fell
_ But it's hard for me to think of [Am] him as good
Cause [D] he'd have done me just the [G] same if only he could
_ Oh, _ _ mama, I'm [Am] so cold
[D] And I feel like I'm quickly [G] growing old
So I hope that you are thinking [Am] of your son
Cause [D] tomorrow morning [G] I'll be twenty-one
_ [Am] Oh, Johnny Red, Johnny Red, [G] he don't worry now
[C] _ He [G] don't wonder _ how
Today _ _ _ my sergeant told me [Am] I'd done well
_ [D] Cause I'd sent another southern [G] boy to hell
And I can't help wondering about [Am] this loss of life
And [D]
if that rebel soldier [G] had a wife _ _
Oh, _ _ mama, oh mama, [Am] I'm so cold
[D] And the good book doesn't help me [G] like you told
_ _ And it don't show me if [Am] I'm right or wrong
[D] And when this war will end [G] and just how long
Oh, mama, oh mama, [Am] I'm so cold
And [D] I feel like I'm quickly [G] growing old
So I hope that you are thinking [Am] of your son
_ [D] Cause tomorrow morning [G] I'll be twenty-one
_ _ [Am] _ _ [C] _
[G] Oh, mama, _ _ [Am] _ [C] _ _ [G]
oh mama
