Battle of Bull Run Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D][G][D][A][Em][D]
The sun shown
bright and clear that day
[G]We all left Washing[D]ton
To lick the Rebel boys in grey
At the [G]Battle of Bull Run
[D]They came from Pennsylvania and
[G]some from [D]Maryland
To see the Rebel boys get spanked
by [G]Honest Abe's broad [D]hand

[Verse 2]
We said we'll run â??em to
Atlanta and to Galveston [Bm]Bay
But they [D]ran us back to
Washington and [G]Philadelphia
[D]And Phi[G]ladelphia
[D]

[Verse 3]
The ladies wore their brightest shawls
The [G]gentlemen were [D]gay
They came to see their Yankee
boys WHIP [G]old Virginia
[D]I held my momma's
hand and skipped
When a [G]soldier said to [D]me
Would you rather have Jeff Davis' hat
or the [G]sword of Bobbie [D]Lee

[Verse 4]
We said we'll run â??em to
Atlanta and to Galveston [Bm]Bay
But they [D]ran us back to
Washington and [G]Philadelphia
[D]And Phi[G]ladelphia
[D]

[Verse 5]
And then the general doffed his hat
and [G]said let's rest a [D]spell
Before the first and we all
heard that [G]awful rebel [D]yell
The waters of Manasas creek
[G]be came a ruby [D]red
Many a Reb and Yankee boy
lay [G]in the willows [D]dead

[Verse 6]
We said we'll run â??em to
Atlanta and to Galveston [Bm]Bay
But they [D]ran us back to
Washington and [G]Philadelphia
[D]And Phi[G]ladelphia
[D]

[Verse 7]
A fight locked in the jest of time too
[G]horrible to [D]tell
Virginny's true green countryside
be[G]came a lake of [D]hell
Don't count your chicks
before they're hatched
Or you'll [G]work until it's [D]done
Remember yes remember
long the [G]Battle of Bull [D]Run

[Verse 8]
We said we'll run â??em to
Atlanta and to Galveston [Bm]Bay
But they [D]ran us back to
Washington and [G]Philadelphia
[D]And Phi[G]ladelphia
[D]
