Key: Db major

Verse 1
C C 
 
I'm nothing but a plain old soldier.
An old revolutionary soldier.
G G 
 
C C 
 
But I've handled a gun
F F 
 
when no good deeds were done.
C C 
 
For the name of my commander
was George Washington.
G G 
 
My home and my country
C C 
 
to me were dear.
G G 
 
And I fought for both
D D 
 
when the foe came near,
G G 
 
C C 
 
But now I will meet with a slight or sneer,
G G 
 
D D 
 
G G 
 
For I'm nothing but a plain old soldier.
C C 
 
Nothing but a plain old soldier,
G G 
 
An old revolutionary soldier,
C C 
 
But I've handled a gun
C C 
 
F F 
 
when noble deeds were done,
F F 
 
C C 
 
For the name of my commander
F F 
 
C C 
 
was George Woshin -tan.
Again the battle song's resounding,
G G 
 
And who'll bring the trouble to an end?
C C 
 
The Union will pout
F F 
 
and secession ever shout,
C C 
 
But none can tell us now
which will yield or bend.
You've had many generals
from all over the land.
G G 
 
You've tried one by one,
D D 
 
and you're still at a stand.
G G 
 
But when I  took the field,
C C 
 
we had one in command.
G G 
 
C C 
 
G G 
 
Yet I  never forgot to
D D 
 
G G 
 
C C 
 
play no soldier.
Nothing but to play no soldier.
An old revolutionary soldier.
But I've handled a gun
F F 
 
C C 
 
when nobilities go down,
G G 
 
For the name of my commander
C C 
 
was George Washington.
