A D I would run away, if I would not fall. G Well I joined the Southern cavalry for fun. D Must have rode a thousand horses; A Always had a way with a gun. D G Now I'm among the horseless riders lying still. A D Swallowed up by the Cause on the Widow's Hill. B F# And I dreamed of a rose in a Spanish garden, B F# A And I kissed you and placed it in your hair. D G And, if I'm ever on my feet again, I will, A D I will run all the way just to meet you there. G Through the day I watched those Southern boys go down. D And they lay like Georgia peaches A Bruised and broken on the ground. D G Through the night I wondered was it worth the pain, A D And I cried not revenge, I called your name. B F# And I dreamed of a rose in a Spanish garden, B F# A And I kissed you and placed it in your hair. D G And, if I'm ever on my feet again, I will, A D I will run all the way just to meet you there. A D I will run all the way just to meet you there. Fade out A D The End
