 	 WELL HIS EYES WERE COLD AS LEAD AND STEEL
 	        G          	     C
 	 FORGED INTO TOOLS OF WAR

 	  	  	   G
 	 IF WE CONTROL THE MISSISSIPPI
 	  	  	  	      AM
 	 THEN THE FEDERALS ARE THROUGH



 	 AM
 	 WELL THEY TOLD US THAT OUR ENEMY 
 	  	      G 	  	  	 C

 	 AND I HEARD THE NEWS NEXT NIGHT
