Capo: 2 Tuning: E A D G B E
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]
A WGildfDire A WGildfDire
[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]
A WGildfDire A WGildfDire
[Instrumental] A G D (x2) [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 WGildfDire A WGildfDire
[Instrumental] 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]
