C                  Em               F 
Sick and tired of Gettysburg, they made me write it down 
C                 Em           F 
That was such a heavy word for me to carry around 
C                 Em           F 
Just a young American, another pretty slave 
C                 Em               F 
Trying to get to heaven, man, like all the billboards say 

C       G         F 
ohhhhh ohhhhhh ohhhhhh 
C       G         F 
ohhhhh ohhhhhh ohhhhhh 

C                  Em               F 
I found you dancing, girl, there between the pines 
C                  Em               F 
Every, everything I've learned went running out into the night 
C                  Em               F 
You named me baby blue, took my shaky hands 
C                  Em               F 
Loved me for a year or two, then danced away again 

C       G         F 
ohhhhh ohhhhhh ohhhhhh 
C       G         F 
ohhhhh ohhhhhh ohhhhhh 

C                  Em               F 
Now I guess I understand, it took a while to learn 
C                       Em               F 
You were trying to teach me that, to damn the heavy words 
C                     Em               F 
Meet me down in Gettysburg, hold me in the shade 
C                  Em               F 
Rolling on the very earth where dying boys had laid 
F 
Where dying boys had laid 

Come on down if you can 
Come on, join the band (x2)
