[Verse 1]
I slept and I [C]dreamed of [Em]a time long ago
I saw [B]an army of [Em]rebels, [Am]dancing on air
I [G]dreamed as [C]I slept,
I could [B]see the camp[Em]fires,[B]
[Em]A song of the [Bm]battle,
that was [Em]born in the flames,
[Bm]And the [Em]rebels were waltzi[Bm]ng on a[G]ir.

[Verse 2]
I [G]danced with [C]a girl to the tune
[Em]of a waltz
That was written to be danced
on [Am]the battlefield
[G]I danced to [C]the tune of a [B]voice of a [Em]girl
A voice that [Bm]called [Em]"Stand till we [Bm]fall
We [Em]stand till all [Bm]the [G]boys fall."

[Verse 3]
As [G]we danced came the [C]news
that the [B]war [Bm]was n[Em]ot won
[B]5 armies were [Em]coming,
[Am]with carrige and gun
Through [G]the heart of the camp
[C]Swept the new[B]s from the fro[Em]nt
A cloud crossed [B]the moon,
[Bm]a chil[Em]d cried for food
[Bm]We k[Em]new the war could no[B]t be[Bm] won[G].

[Verse 4]
So [G]we danced with a [C]rifle,
to the [Em]rhythm of the gun
In a [B]glade through the [Em]trees
[Am]I saw my only one
Then the [G]earth seemed to [C]rise
hell [B]hot as [Em]the sun
The soldiers were [B]dying,
there was [Em]tune to the sigh[B]ing.
The [Em]song was [B]an old rebel [G]one.

[Verse 5]
As [G]the smoke of our hopes
rose [Em]high from the field
My eyes played tricks through
the [Am]moon and the trees
I [Em]slept as I [G]dreamed [Em]I
saw the army rise
A voice began to call,
stand till you fall
The tune was an old rebel [G]one.
