[Verse]

Am
Leaving all behind

The award is to be found
      F
Like a scene from a dream
     E                   Am
And a vision of heavenly might

Am
In the cradle of this war, I know

And that's for sure
 F
When the battle's done:
 E                Am
There can be only one
Am          G         C
I am marching against evil
E                      Am
May the Lord be on our side


[Chorus]

Am         Dm              Am
Ready to fight; fire at will
Am        E            Am
We shall die in Gettysburg
Am         Dm             Am
Ready to fight; fire at will
Am       E                Am
People will cry at Gettysburg

[Verse]

Am
This inferno turned me blind

There was fire and smoke all around
F
Dead bodies and blood everywhere
E                     Am
In this unholy ground
Am
Now the future is no more

We're all lost to this vicious whore
                F
When the victory's won
E                Am
I'm a fatherless son
Am          G            C
We went out to fight for glory
E                   Am
Only one of us came home


[Chorus]

Am         Dm              Am
Ready to fight; fire at will
Am        E           Am
We shall die in Gettysburg
Am         Dm             Am
Ready to fight; fire at will
Am       E                  Am
People will cry over Gettysburg

[Verse]

Am  G
I sit here on my porch
C
As an old and lonely man
               E
Sometimes I recall
                    Am
When terror struck the land
           G
Was it right to go to arms
C
To defend the freedom rights
        E                            Am
I am sure or else I've lived upon a lie


[Chorus]

Am         Dm              Am
Ready to fight; fire at will
Am        E            Am
We shall die in Gettysburg
Am         Dm             Am
Ready to fight; fire at will
Am       E                  Am
People will cry over Gettysburg

Am         Dm              Am
Ready to fight; fire at will
Am        E           Am
We shall die in Gettysburg
Am         Dm             Am
Ready to fight; fire at will
Am       E                  Am
People will cry over Gettysburg
