Verse 1
Am 
G 
Am 
Today I
G 
Am 
killed a man I didn't know
D 
G 
I held my rifle high and shot him low
Though I'd like to think he
Am 
really was to blame
D 
G 
Well I never knew, or never will, his name
I guess that someone
Am 
somewhere knew him well
D 
And they all cry when they
G 
are told that he is fell
But it's hard for me to
Am 
think of him as good
D 
Cause he'd have done me just the same,
G 
if only he could
Am 
Oh mama, oh mama, I'm so cold
D 
G 
And I feel like I'm quickly growing old
So I hope that you are thinking
Am 
of your son
D 
Cause tomorrow morning I'll be 21
G 
Oh
Am 
Johnny
Red,
C 
Johnny
Am 
Red
G 
He don't worry now
C 
G 
He don't wonder how
D 
G 
Today my sergeant told
Am 
me I'd done well
D 
Cos I'd sent another
G 
Southern boy to hell
And I can't help wondering
Am 
about this loss of  life
D 
G 
And if that rebel soldier had a wife
Am 
Oh, mama, oh, mama, I'm so cold
D 
And the good book doesn't
G 
help me like you told
Am 
And it don't tell me if I'm right or wrong
D 
And when this war will
G 
end and just how long
Am 
Oh mama, oh mama, I'm so cold
D 
G 
And I feel like I'm quickly growing old
So I hope that you are
Am 
thinking of your son
D 
Cause tomorrow morning
G 
Am 
I'll be 21
