         C          G
Well I pray, every day
           D                 Em D C           
That the good Lord keep me safe
C              G             D                 G/B D C
 And I try to hide all this fear built in my spine
C             G
Give a man a day
          D                Em D C
So I can see your pretty face
C          B7           Em
Until I arrive in your arms

        C          C7            G
Well I don't know what you doin'
                   G7
Fightin' in this silly war
C               C7    
You're not a yankee, love
       A            A7
Nor a grey-back confederate
            D7                 D7sus4
Tryin' to keep these slaves abhorred
                 C
You were just a simple man
                     G                 G7
Tryin' to do these things the best you can
C                 C7
Now it's time to come on home
      A        
Got a baby in the oven
         A7           B7  
That I need to see before she gets old

         C          G
Well I pray, every day
           D                 Em D C           
That the good Lord keep me safe
C              G             D                 G/B  D  C
 And I try to hide all this fear built in my spine
C             G
Give a man a day
          D                Em  D  C
So I can see your pretty face
C          G            D
Until I arrive in your arms

G
Well I don't know what I'm doin'
          Em    
Fightin' in this stupid war
     G                  Em
I'm not a yankee or a grey-back anymore
G      
I've killed so many men
         B7
Just to kill so many more
Em                       A       A7
Just wanna see my baby before I die
B
In this shitstorm
