Ballad Of The Blue And Gray chords by Lefty Frizzell
Verse 1
A
D
Eb
D
Ooooo...
G
Now Jimmy chose the Yankee blue
A
D
His heart was on their side
G
But brother Billy joined the rebs
A
And how their mother cried
D
They both shook hands
G
and kissed their mum,
A
there wasn't much to say
D
G
One headed north, the other south,
A
the blue against the grey
D
It was brother fighting brother,
A
G
father fighting son
A
A war which both sides had to lose
D
Eb
D
No matter which side won
G
Bill was in the charts at Gettysburg
A
He'd never known defeat
D
G
While Jim was up there on the hill,
A
D
each prayed they'd never meet
G
With Jim a dozen yards ahead,
A
D
the Yanks came down the hill
G
And when the smoke had cleared away,
A
Jim found his brother Bill
D
G
Jim knelt beside young Billy,
A
D
but he had no words to say
G
Bob Bill saw him and held his fire
A
D
while Jim had blazed away
It was brother fighting brother,
G
father fighting son
A
A war which both sides had to lose,
D
Eb
D
Eb
D
Eb
no matter which side won.
