                              Bb             CSixty miles from Richmond, to face the Union army
                                              Bb                CWe dug our holes, and we built a wall, cuz we knew there'd be a fight

C                  Bb            F                  CSure as hell, that sundown came, a hundred thousand men
                                       Bb          CAnd it sure did shock me Lord, to see, kin killing kin
                                        Bb                   CThe cannonballs were heavy, filled with iron, and steel, and lead
                    Bb     F            CAnd the James River water, ran a bloody red

                                Bb               CI see a mighty city where there once was a battleground
                                Bb                CI thought when Lee surrendered, we would fight no more
                         Bb           F               C      But the ghost of Lee can still see us fight the civil war
