This is a super simple but beautiful song. You can play it straight as shown, or if you want to add a little
finesse you could hammer chords and throw is a sus or two. Enjoy!
There's actually two instrumentals in the song, but the first is for mandolin and the second is for lead
guitar. So I just play them as two loops of the chords progression.
[Verse 1]
BArave men fall with a Gbattle cry
DTears fill the eyes of their loved ones and their brothers in Aarms
So it Gwent, for Joseph DWarren
It Ashould have been different, it Gcould have been easy
His Drank could have saved him, but a country unborn needs Abravery
And it Gspread like wDildfire
[Chorus]

[Verse 2]
From the aAshes grew sweet lGiberty
Like the sDeeds of the pines when the forest burns
They oApen up, gGrow and burn aDgain
It sAhould have been different, it cGould have been easy
But tDoo much money rolled in to ever end sAlavery
The cry for Gwar spread like wDildfire
[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
CAivil war came, cGivil war went
DBrother fought brother, the south was spent
But its tArue demise was hGatred, passed down tDhrough the years
It sAhould have been different, it cGould have been easy
But pDride has a way of holding too firm to hiAstory
And it bGurns like wiDldfire
[Chorus]

A G D (x2)
[Verse 4]
A I was born a sGouthern son
In a sDmall southern town where the rebels run wild
A They beat their chest and they sGwear: we're gonna risDe again
It sAhould have been different, it cGould have been easy
The Dday that old Warren died, hate should have gone with itA
But here we Gare, caught in the wiDldfire
[Chorus]
