Bm
Leaving all behind
The award is to be found
G
Like a scene from a dream
F# Bm
And a vision of heavenly might
Bm
In the cradle of this war, I know
And that's for sure
G
When the battle's done:
F# Bm
There can be only one
Bm A D
I am marching against evil
F# Bm
May the Lord be on our side
[Chorus]

Ready to fight; fire at will
Bm F# Bm
We shall die in Gettysburg
Bm Em Bm
Ready to fight; fire at will
Bm F# Bm
People will cry at Gettysburg

[Verse]
Bm
This inferno turned me blind
There was fire and smoke all around
G
Dead bodies and blood everywhere
F# Bm
In this unholy ground
Bm
Now the future is no more
We're all lost to this vicious whore
G
When the victory's won
F# Bm
I'm a fatherless son
Bm A D
We went out to fight for glory
F# Bm
Only one of us came home
[Chorus]
Bm Em Bm
Ready to fight; fire at will
Bm F# Bm
We shall die in Gettysburg
Bm Em Bm
Ready to fight; fire at will

Bm A
I sit here on my porch
D
As an old and lonely man
F#
Sometimes I recall
Bm
When terror struck the land
A
Was it right to go to arms
D
To defend the freedom rights
F# Bm
I am sure or else I've lived upon a lie
[Chorus]
