I saw them do this song in concert and just loved it. I hope you do to.


Intro    G     C9     G     C9

                                               
 Em                                C9                 G
We came up from Sheffield and they put us on the line
            D                  G       C9              D
You could smell the powder burning and man it hurt my eyes
      Em
They knew them boys were tired and weak
         C9                     G
We were fresh and we were strong
      D                G             C9                  D
We could not wait to blast away and make our presence known
   C9          G             C9              G        
Every time I took my aim and got one in my sight
Em                              C9                D
In my heart I knew the way and this way was not right

Chorus
    C9             G                    D            G
I guess my daddy would be proud but my mama she's ashamed
 C9               G                D
And I know deep down we need a change
        C9               G
Them Northern boys are friends of mine 
          D                 G
But I've got my Southern pride
        Em                           C      D
Im standing here a fightin wishin there         was another side

       Em
We burned each others crops and fields
     C9                  G
And took the very best 
    D              G                      C9             D
We fought our way back and forth and they put us to the test
   Em
I know that some things were wrong
     C9                      G
But what gave them the right
     D                      G           C9              D
To point their righteous fingers and expect us not to fight
 C9          G                  C9              G
We all cried on the night they burned Atlanta down
Em                             C9                  D
How much more can we take and still stand our ground

Chorus
     C9             G                   D             G
I guess my daddy would be proud but my mama she's ashamed
 C9              G                 D
And I know deep down we need a change
       C9                 G  
Them colored boys are friends of mine
         D                 G
But I've got my Southern pride
 Em                                  C        D
I'm standing here a fightin wishin there          was another side

 Em
In four years the smoke had cleared
       C9                   G
And I went back to the farm
          D           G                 C9                D
Little brother met me at the bridge and he held out his arms
        Em                              C9                    G
He was thin and weak and wounded and dressed in Yankee blue
         D           G             C9              D
Well I cried and I held him and together we both knew
    C9               G               C9            G
If it could be done over there would be a better way
           Em                          C9                D
Still one family and one nation oh but what a price we pay

Chorus
   C9              G                    D              G
I guess my daddy would be proud but my mama she's ashamed
 C9              G                 D
And I know deep down we need a change
     C9                       G      
Now some of them boys were friends of mine
     D                    G
But dang this Southern pride
       Em                          C       D                      G
I'm standing here a cryin wishin there          was another side
C9                                    G
      I'm wishin there was another side
C9                                G
      Wishin there was another side
