[Verse 1]
C#m7 B/D# E F#
I cross the green mountain, I sit by the stream
C#m7 B/D# E F#
Heaven blazing in my head, I dreamt a monstrous dream

Something came up out of the sea

Swept through the land of, the rich and the free

I look into the eyes, of my merciful friend

Memories linger, sad yet sweet and I
G#m E F# G#m
think of the souls in heaven who will meet
E B F#
[Chorus]
E B/D# C#m7 B
Altars are burning, with flames far and wide
E B/D# C#m7 F#sus4 F# F#sus2 F#
The foe has crossed over from the other side
E B/D# C#m7 B
They tip their caps, from the top of the hill
C#m7 B/D# Cadd9 F#sus4 F#
You can feel them come, more brave blood to spill
[Verse 3]

Along the dim, Atlantic line
C#m7 B/D# E F#
the ravaged land, lies for miles behind

The light's coming forward and the streets are broad
G#m E F# G#m
All must yield to the avenging God

[Chorus]
E B/D# C#m7 B
The world is old, the world is gray

Lessons of life, can't be learned in a day

To the music that comes from a far-better land

Close the eyes of our captain, peace may he know
C#m7 B/D# E F#
His long night is done, the great leader is laid low
E B/D# C#m7 F#sus4 F# F#sus2 F#
He was ready to fall, he was quick to defend
G#m E F# G#m
Killed outright he was, by his own men

[Verse 5]
C#m7 B/D# E F#
It's the last day's last hour, of the last happy year

Pride will vanish and glory will rot

But virtue lives and cannot be forgot

[Verse 6]
C#m7 B/D# E F#
The bells of leavening have rung
C#m7 B/D# E F#
There's blasphemy on every tongue
E B/D# C#m7 F#sus4 F# F#sus2 F#
Let 'em say that I walked in fair nature's light
G#m E F# G#m
And that I was loyal to truth and to right
E B E B
[Chorus]
E B/D# C#m7 B
Serve God and be cheerful, look upward, beyond
E B/D# C#m7 F#sus4 F# F#sus2 F#
Beyond the darkness of masks, the surprises of dawn
E B/D# C#m7 B
In the deep green grasses of the blood stained world
C#m7 B/D# Cadd9 F#sus4 F#
They never dreamed of surrenderin', they fell where they stood
[Verse 7]
C#m7 B/D# E F#
Stars fell over Alabama, I saw each star

You're walkin' in dreams, whoever you are

Chilled are the skies, keen as the frost
G#m E F# G#m
The ground's froze hard and the morning is lost
E B E B
[Verse 8]
C#m7 B/D# E F#
C# letter to mother came today
C#m7 B/D# E F#
Gunshot wound to the breast is what it did say
E B/D# C#m7 F#sus4 F# F#sus2 F#
But he'll be better soon, he's in a hospital bed
G#m E F# G#m
But he'll never be better - he's already dead
E B E B
[Verse 9]
C#m7 B/D# E F#
I'm ten miles outside the city, and I'm lifted away
C#m7 B/D# E F#
In an ancient light, that is not of day
E B/D# C#m7 F#sus4 F# F#sus2 F#
They were calm, they were blunt, we knew 'em all too well
G#m E F# G#m
We loved each other more than we ever dared to tell
E B Cadd9 G
