[Verse]
Em C9 GWe came up from Sheffield and they put us on the line
D G C9 DYou could smell the powder burning and man it hurt my eyes
EmThey knew them boys were tired and weak
C9 GWe were fresh and we were strong
D G C9 DWe could not wait to blast away and make our presence known
C9 G C9 GEvery time I took my aim and got one in my sight
Em C9 DIn my heart I knew the way and this way was not right
[Chorus]
C9 G D GI guess my daddy would be proud but my mama she's ashamed
C9 G DAnd I know deep down we need a change
C9 GThem Northern boys are friends of mine
D GBut I've got my Southern pride
Em C DIm standing here a fightin wishin there was another side
[Fill in]
G C9
EmWe burned each others crops and fields
C9 GAnd took the very best
D G C9 DWe fought our way back and forth and they put us to the test
EmI know that some things were wrong
C9 GBut what gave them the right
D G C9 DTo point their righteous fingers and expect us not to fight
C9 G C9 GWe all cried on the night they burned Atlanta down
Em C9 DHow much more can we take and still stand our ground
[Chorus]
C9 G D GI guess my daddy would be proud but my mama she's ashamed
C9 G DAnd I know deep down we need a change
C9 GThem colored boys are friends of mine
D GBut I've got my Southern pride
Em C DI'm standing here a fightin wishin there was another side

[Verse]
EmIn four years the smoke had cleared
C9 GAnd I went back to the farm
D G C9 DLittle brother met me at the bridge and he held out his arms
Em C9 GHe was thin and weak and wounded and dressed in Yankee blue
D G C9 DWell I cried and I held him and together we both knew
C9 G C9 GIf it could be done over there would be a better way
Em C9 DStill one family and one nation oh but what a price we pay
[Chorus]
C9 G D GI guess my daddy would be proud but my mama she's ashamed
C9 G DAnd I know deep down we need a change
C9 GNow some of them boys were friends of mine
D GBut dang this Southern pride
Em C D GI'm standing here a cryin wishin there was another side
C9 G I'm wishin there was another side
C9 G Wishin there was another side
