There was a decorated general with a heart of gold
e------------3-------------------------3-------- B------------4-------------------------3-------- G------------5-------------------------4-------- D------------5------------------------5-------- A------------3-----------------------5-------- E-------------3-----------------------3---------
that likened him to all the stories he told

of past battles won and lost and legends of old

On the battlefields he gained respectful fame

with many medals of bravery and stripes to his name
e--------6------------------------6----------------- B-------8------------------------6------------------ G-------8------------------------7------------------ D-------8------------------------8------------------ A-------6------------------------8------------------ E--------6-----------------------6------------------
he grew a beard as soon as he could to cover the scars on his face

the old general tossed in his sleep and wrestled with this thing

and he awoke from the night, to tell what he had seen

and walked slowly out off his tent
e--------------1----1---------------1------1------------ B--------------3----3---------------1------1------------ G--------------3----3---------------2------2------------ D--------------3----3---------------3------3----------- A--------------1----1---------------3------3---------- E--------------1----1---------------1------1----------
All the men stood tall with their chests in the air

with a courage in their blood and a fire in their stare

and it was a wonderful morning and they all wondered how they would
fare
