[Verse 1]
Em G
And I was born down in Georgia
D C G
Lonely gator cry was my lullaby
C G C G
And we met in graveyard on a foggy Winter mornin'
D Em
And I was yours, and you were mine
[Chorus]
C G D Em
Oh, and where have you gone my green-eyed gal?
C G D Em
I remember you stated the way that it felt
C G D Em
Heard a cannon blast from the gates of Hell
C G D Em
And I taste blood and death on my trail
[Verse 2]
Em G
And we wed in the springtime
D C
And she wore flowers in her hair
G C G
And I swear I'll never leave you babe
C G D Em
But the War called my name and I did leave, you remained
[Chorus]
C G D Em
Oh, and where have you gone my green-eyed gal?
C G D Em
I remember you stated the way that it felt
C G D Em
Heard a cannon blast from the gates of Hell
C G D Em
And I taste blood and death on my trail
[Verse 3]
Em G
And bullets flyin' through the grey sky
D C G
And I lay broken on the cold Virginia ground
C G
And I don't know how I got here, LORD
C G D Em
I thought I was back in Georgia, starin' in my darlin's eyes
[Chorus]
C G D Em
Oh, and where have you gone my green-eyed gal?
C G D Em
I remember you stated the way that it felt
C G D Em
Heard a cannon blast from the gates of Hell
C G D Em
And I taste blood and death on my trail
[Verse 4]
Em G
The Union army left our bodies
D C G
And I heard cryin', to God for mercy, oh
C G C G
Looked to my breast pocket and found a torn photo of you
D Em
And I did pass sing a lonesome tune
[Chorus]
C G D Em
Oh, and where have you gone my green-eyed gal?
C G D Em
I remember you stated the way that it felt
C G D Em
Heard a cannon blast from the gates of Hell
C G D Em
And I taste blood and death on my trail
C G D Em
Oh, and when I am gone, remember me well
