C                  Em               F
Sick and tired of Gettysburg, they made me write it down
C                 Em           F
That was such a heavy word for me to carry around
C                 Em           F
Just a young American, another pretty slave
C                 Em               F
Trying to get to heaven, man, like all the billboards say

C       G         F
ohhhhh ohhhhhh ohhhhhh
C       G         F
ohhhhh ohhhhhh ohhhhhh

C                  Em               F
I found you dancing, girl, there between the pines
C                  Em               F
Every, everything I've learned went running out into the night
C                  Em               F
You named me baby blue, took my shaky hands
C                  Em               F
Loved me for a year or two, then danced away again

C       G         F
ohhhhh ohhhhhh ohhhhhh
C       G         F
ohhhhh ohhhhhh ohhhhhh

C                  Em               F
Now I guess I understand, it took a while to learn
C                       Em               F
You were trying to teach me that, to damn the heavy words
C                     Em               F
Meet me down in Gettysburg, hold me in the shade
C                  Em               F
Rolling on the very earth where dying boys had laid
F
Where dying boys had laid
