I Saw The Vision Of Armies Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]I s[C]aw the[G] vision of armies;
And I saw, [C]as in noise[D]less dreams,
hundreds of battle- [G]flags,
[C]Borne thr[G]ough the smoke of the battles
and pierced with mis[D]siles, I saw them,
[G]And carried, hither and yon[C] through the smo[C#]ke,
and [G]torn and [Em]bloody
And at [C]last but a few shreds of 'the flags left on the staffs,
(and all in [G]silence,)
And the staffs [Em]all splintered
and [G]broken.[D]
I saw battle- [C]corpses, myriads of them,

[Verse 2]
[D]
And the white skeletons
of young men, I saw them
[Dm]I sa[D]w the debris and
[Dm]debris of all dead [C#]soldiers,
[D]But I s[C]aw they were not as was
[D]thought
[Dm]They themselves were fully at [D]rest, they suffered [C]not

[Verse 3]
[D]
The liv[C#]ing remained and [Dm]suffered,
[C]the mother suffered,
And the wife and the child and the musing comrade suffered,
[Dm]And the armies [C#]that remained
[D]suffered..[C][D]
