I Ain’t Marching Anymore Phil Ochs
The song is actually played one step down. I play it this way because it's easier
this way, but if you want to play along with the recording, you should tune your
guitar one step down, or put a capo on the 10th fret. It sounds great
nevertheless. Anyway, enjoy it!
[D]Oh I m[G]arched to the battle o[C]f New Orleans[D]
At the end[G] of the early Br[C]itish war[D]
[G]The young land started growing[C]
The young blood started flowing[G]
But [C]I ain't m[Am]archin' anym[D]ore
For I've killed my share of Indians
In a thousand different fights
I was there at the Little Big Horn
I heard many men lying
I saw many more dying
But I ain't marchin' anymore

It's [C]always the old to lead u[G]s to the war
[C]It's always the youn[Am]g to fall[D]
Now look at all we've won with the sabre and the gun
Tell me is it worth at all?
For I stole California from the Mexican land
Fought in the bloody Civil War
Yes I even killed my brother
And so many others
And I ain't marchin' anymore
For I marched to the battles of the German trench
In a war that was bound to end all wars
Oh I must have killed a million men
And now they want me back again
But I ain't marchin' anymore
(chorus)
For I flew the final mission in the Japanese sky
Set off the mighty mushroom roar
When I saw the cities burning
I knew that I was learning
That I ain't marchin' anymore
Now the labor leader's screamin' when they close the missile plants,
United Fruit screams at the Cuban shore,
Call it "Peace" or call it "Treason,"
Call it "Love" or call it "Reason,"
But I ain't marchin' any more.
