Candy took me down
D
Candy took me down
G
Down to her cellar
G                 Gm
Down to her cellar
D
We sat in candle light
D
Drinkin her father's wine
G
Sheltered in darkness
G
Cold earth around us
A
That's when the Union came
Bm                 G         Gm
In veils of stormy rain

[Verse]
D
We talked about her pa
D
How she watched him in awe
G
Preachin the gospel
G                 Gm
She was delightful
D
We heard the thunder fall
D
Damn near break down these walls
G
The bottles ringin
G
Us two just sittin
A
Outside the cannonballs
Bm                        G         Gm
Came screamin through the squall

[Verse]
D
She took to cryin then
D
I watched the candle dim
G
And curl and shudder
G                 Gm
Afraid to touch her
D
And as the flame went dead
D
Dear God, I felt her head
G
Rest tired upon me
G
Just breathin softly
A
Outside the city burned
Bm                   G         Gm
Lord, it was hell on Earth

[Verse]
D
As darkness swept aside
D
That breathless candelight
G
I felt her breathin
G
And I started singin

[Chorus]
D
Soldiers they will come,
D
And soldiers they will go
D
The war may lay the lot of us
   Bm
In rows of granite stone
Bm
And if I join the cavalry
    D               G
And perish far from home,
  D                            A             D
A life as sweet as candy I may never live to know

[Chorus]
D
The cities they will burn,
D
And families will crack
D
The hate that drove us from our homes
     Bm
Will drag the living back
Bm
And limping from the darkness
         D             G
With our hatred in our tracks,
  D                                A        D
A long and lonely shadow there can never be undone

[Chorus]
D
But Candy is asleep,
D
In darkness and in peace
D                                       Bm
And my heart fills the silence with its happy little
