I turned 17 in '63 on a battle feild in Tennessee. 
G5                                    D5 
I did what I was told do an never questioned why, 
G5            
until in Dixburg on some farmers land, 
C5 
so close that we fought hand in hand 
G5                 D5               G5 
I met a rebel boy, but spared his life 
C5                      D5 
In another place another time

verse: 
G5 
He was 17 and dressed in grey, and  
C5 
I could tell that in so many ways, 
G5                                D5 
we had a lot in common underneath that uniform. 
G5 
In the day light we fought fearlessly, 
C5 
in the dark we cried ourselves to sleep 
G5               D5               G5 
longing for our mother's loving arms
