[Verse 1]
C   F             C    F
Home was all we'd known
        C         Am      C     F
Fathers field, and caloused heals
C     F              C     F
Friend, I called you friend
       C        Am     C   F
Oh but life was simple then

[Verse 2]
   C   F       C   F
We grew to disagree
          C           Am          C     F
Took your portion and packed your things
    C   F               C   F
And held your freedom high
      C          Am         C      F
Above health and wealth and life itself

C          F                  C    F
Remember us out on the frozen pond?
C            F                         C  F
I held you up, you were the frightened one

Of a brother returning soon

I was wrong yesterday
    C     F           C
Oh, I was wrong yesterday
     C       F          C
Come wash my war paint away

Come wash my war paint away

Come wash my war paint away

Come wash my war paint away

Come wash my war paint away
     C       F          C
Come wash my war paint away
