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

Ready to fight; fire at will

We shall die in Gettysburg

Ready to fight; fire at will
A#m F A#m
People will cry at Gettysburg

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

Ready to fight; fire at will

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