Verse 1
There was a (A major) decorated general
with a (E major) heart of gold
That (B minor) likened him to all the (F sharp minor) stories he told
(D major) Of past battles won and lost (A major)
and legends of old
(E major) A seasoned veteran in his own time
On the (A major) battlefield he gained res (E major) pect for fame
With (B minor) many medals of bravery
and (F sharp minor) stripes to his name
He (D major) grew a beard as soon as he could
to (A major) cover the scars on his face
(E major) And always urged his men on
But on the (A major) eve of great battle
with the (E major) infantry and dream
The old general (B minor) tossed in his sleep
and (F sharp minor) wrestled with its meaning
He a (D major) woke from that night
to (A major) tell what he had seen
(E major) And walked slowly out of his tent
All the (A major) men held tall with their (E major) chests in the air
With the (B minor) courage in their blood
and a fire (F sharp minor) in their stare
And it was a (D major) gray morning
and they all (A major) wondered how they would fair
(E major) 'Till the old general told them to go home

He said
(A6) I have seen (E major) the others (B minor)

And I (F sharp minor) will no other (D6)
To follow (A major) me where I'm (E major) going
So, (A6) take your shower, (E major) shine your shoes (B minor)

Verse 2
But the (A major) men stood fast
with their (E major) guns on their shoulders
Not (B minor) knowing what to do
with the contradicting (F sharp minor) orders
The (D major) general said he would do his own duty
but (A major) he would extend it no further
(E major) The men could go as they pleased
But not a (A major) man moved,
their eyes (E major) gazed straight ahead
'Till one (B minor) by one they stepped back
and (F sharp minor) not a word was said
And the old (D major) general was left
with his own words (A major) echoing in his head
(E major) He then prepared to fight
