The General Dispatch
(No capo)
[C]There was a decorated general with a h[G]eart of gold
That like[Am]ned him to all the st[Em]ories he told
O[F]f past battles, won and lo[C]st and legends of old
[G]A seasoned veteran in his own time
On the bat[C]tlefield, he gained resp[G]ectable fame
With m[Am]any medals of bravery and str[Em]ipes to his name
He gr[F]ew a beard as soon as he could
To co[C]ver the scars on his face a[G]nd always urged his men on
But on the e[C]ve of a great battle with the infan[G]try in dream
The old general to[Am]ssed in his sleep and wr[Em]estled with its meaning
He aw[F]oke from the night to te[C]ll what he had seen
And wal[G]ked slowly out of his tent
(So basically all i wanted to do was make a novice version of this song as it has
many difficult Chords and tabs originally, And the whole song has the progression
C,G,Am,Em,F,C,G. Sorry if its not accurate enough for you I just wanted to make
something easier for beginners.)
All the men held tall with their chests in the air
With courage in their blood and a fire in their stare
It was a gray morning and they all wondered how they would fare
The old general told them to go home
He said, "I have seen the others and I have discovered
That this fight is not worth fighting
Oh and I've seen their mothers
And I will no other to follow me where I'm going"
So take a shower and shine your shoes you got no time to lose
You are young men you must be living, yeah
Take a shower and shine your shoes you got no time to lose
You are young men you must be living, go now you are forgiven
Yeah and the men stood fast with their guns on their shoulders
Not knowing what to do with the contradicting orders
The general said, he would do his own duty but he would
Extend it no further the men could go as they pleased
But not a man moved, their eyes gazed straight ahead
Till one by one they stepped back and not a word was said
And the old general was left with his
Own words echoing in his head, he then prepared to fight
He said, "I have seen the others and I have discovered
That this fight is not worth fighting
Oh and I've seen their mothers
And I will no other to follow me where I'm going"
So take a shower and shine your shoes you got no time to lose
You are young men you must be living, yeah
Take a shower and shine your shoes you got no time to lose
You are young men you must be living, go now you are forgiven
