Written By: Corb Lund
Tabbed/Chorded By: ultimatelefty
Here's another good one by Corb, a western sounding war tune,
and a very good one at that! Hopefully most of it is correct,
the solo was a bit tricky but I think I got the jist of it.
Anyways, as always, please rate, comment, and enjoy!

Verse 1:
Am
Well I tried my best to stop them,
yes I tried to make them wait.
G
And I appealed to their decency,
show mercy on this day.
F
I issued them strong orders,
on pain of death and dissaray.
E
But in the end they would not listen,
they raised their lances anyway.

Verse 2:
Am
Men of no account, they were,
their breeding crude and low.
G
With not a trace of wisdom, grace,
or virtue in their souls.
F
Yet trained them long and hard I did,
to bend them to the crown.
E
To act as tools of justice,
follow edict handed down.

Verse 3:
Am
Well you see these were not militia men,
a-fighting for their homes.
G
Nor fathers, sons, nor husbands, sire,
but foreigners on loan.
F
Yet mercinary killers
career soldiers to a man.
E
Lashing out with vengeance
one can not except or understand.

Verse 4:
Am
Well I could not instill the discipline,
'twas duty to inspire.
G
And they responded in the end
to instincts of the basest kind.
F
Now on my knee before you,
here I dry my eyes in shame.
E
albeit little consolation,
take my head for I'm to blame.
