If general Mc Callister gave up the wars
D C
and all of the people went back to their chores
F C G
then all the kings horses and all the kings men could go home---
G C
If all of the people were on the same side
D C
there?d be no need to run,there?d be no need to hide
F C G
and all of us here in our grey tattered coats could go home
C G
If you?d just listen sir once again
C G
to the reasons of one of your men
C G
it could make all these things come to pass
F C G
and I could lay on Arkansas grass

So bravely we marched both the grey and the red
D C
to lick ?em first time like the good general said
F C G
with nary a thought that so very few would go home
G C
If weren?t so wrong for a soldier like me
D C
to throw down his gun and run to be free
F C G
and all of us here with the fear in our ours could go home
C G
If you?d just listen sir once again
C G
to the reasons of one of your men
C G
it could make all these things come to pass
F C G
and I could lay on Arkansas grass
