  It is so cold in Shiloh Town,   the birds can hardly sing,
Am                   G               D
  pretty girls gonna leave the town,

  The war has been won, they've come back home   but they're the ones that lost,
Am                  G               D
  I see a man and a woman alone,
D                  Am        G      Am      Am
  was it worth the cost?

  others,   have gone to stay.
