Song: Last Day At Gettysburg
By: Larry Sparks
Genre: Bluegrass
 
I transpose this to Am 

[Verse 1]
  Em
The gray smoke from the battle
  D                Em
rollin' over the hill.
 
The fires, the dead, the dying
      D                  Em
are in my memory ever still.
 
[Chorus]
  G             D
Oh, can't you hear,
  C         D     G
hear that angel band
                       D
singing, "Come home, soldier,
  C      D         Em
to the Promised Land."
 
[Verse 2]
  Em
Longstreet, he stole away and cried
       D                           Em
when Lee gave him his orders to attack.
 
In his mind's eyes he could see
       D                              Em
that most of his boys would not be back.
 
[Chorus]
  G               D
Oh, can't you hear,
  C         D      G
hear that angel band
                       D
singing, "Come home, soldier,
  C      D         Em
to the Promised Land."
 
[Verse 3]
  Em
Willy Johnson and me,
  D                          Em
Rebel soldiers both from Tennessee.
 
Willy, he's lyin' by my side -
  D                                    Em
spoke these words to me, and then he died:
 
[Chorus]
  G             D
Oh, can't you hear,
  C         D     G
hear that angel band
                       D
singing, "Come home, soldier,
  C      D        Em
to the Promised Land."
