Am F E Am
[Verse]
Am
Leaving all behind
The award is to be found
F
Like a scene from a dream
E Am
And a vision of heavenly might
Am
In the cradle of this war, I know
And that's for sure
F
When the battle's done:
E Am
There can be only one
Am G C
I am marching against evil
E Am
May the Lord be on our side
[Chorus]
Am Dm Am
Ready to fight; fire at will
Am E Am
We shall die in Gettysburg
Am Dm Am
Ready to fight; fire at will
Am E Am
People will cry at Gettysburg
C
[Verse]
Am
This inferno turned me blind
There was fire and smoke all around
F
Dead bodies and blood everywhere
E Am
In this unholy ground
Am
Now the future is no more
We're all lost to this vicious whore
F
When the victory's won
E Am
I'm a fatherless son
Am G C
We went out to fight for glory
E Am
Only one of us came home
[Chorus]
Am Dm Am
Ready to fight; fire at will
Am E Am
We shall die in Gettysburg
Am Dm Am
Ready to fight; fire at will
Am E Am
People will cry over Gettysburg

[Verse]
Am G
I sit here on my porch
C
As an old and lonely man
E
Sometimes I recall
Am
When terror struck the land
G
Was it right to go to arms
C
To defend the freedom rights
E Am
I am sure or else I've lived upon a lie
[Chorus]
Am Dm Am
Ready to fight; fire at will
Am E Am
We shall die in Gettysburg
Am Dm Am
Ready to fight; fire at will
Am E Am
People will cry over Gettysburg

Ready to fight; fire at will

We shall die in Gettysburg

Ready to fight; fire at will
Am E Am
People will cry over Gettysburg
