THE GHOST OF GENERAL LEE
Bb C ( Bb F C )
C Bb F C
Through the smoke, and the mud, and the smoke we walked, behind Robert E. Lee
Bb C
Sixty miles from Richmond, to face the Union army
Bb C
We dug our holes, and we built a wall, cuz we knew there'd be a fight
Bb F C
If the bluecoat wearing soldiers, crossed the river that night
Sure as hell, that sundown came, a hundred thousand men
And it sure did shock me Lord, to see, kin killing kin
The cannonballs were heavy, filled with iron, and steel, and lead
And the James River water, ran a bloody red
Bb C
Lord----------, is it right
Bb F C
Did you mean for me to kill my brother, here tonight
( C Bb F C ) ( C Bb F C )
It's been one hundred, forty years, and as I look around
I see a mighty city where there once was a battleground
I thought when Lee surrendered, we would fight no more
But the ghost of Lee can still see us fight the civil war
Lord, is it right
Did you mean for me to kill my brother, here tonight
