Capo 2nd Fret E 4 measures [Verese 1]
EMy name is Charlie Porter I was a union soldier AIn '61, I A/F#signed up to fight E EAnd it was a great adventure But I have to tell you ANot the faA/F#irytale I had in Emind
[Chorus]
BmAnd when General Lee Asurrendered EAnd victory F#finally aBrrived BmI heard no one hoot oAr holler ENo hip-hurraF#y for the stars and sBtripes
E [Verse 2]
EBack when it started Proud and foolish hearted AI thought A/F#I had a taste for rebel Eblood EBut we were only children They killed us and we killed them AAnd the miA/F#sery and the dying made us Enumb
[Chorus]
BmBy then, hoAlding back the sorrow EWas kind of like F#holding back thBe tide BmThe men did not hoot Aor holler ENor hip-hurray F#for the stars andB stripes EWe only cried
[Instrumental hum along] E E A A/F# E E E A A/F# E [Chorus]
BmAnd oh, vicAtory seems hollow EAt the price of hF#alf a million lBives BmA cold and weary stilAlness follows EYou hear no hipF#-hurray for starsB and stripes EYou only cry
[Verse End]
