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

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

People will cry over Gettysburg

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