C 
The boys are going over 
    F 
And shortly I will too 
    Am 
I'm waiting for the note 
             G 
That says my freedom debt is due 
    Am 
And maybe I'm ungrateful 
   F 
Or maybe I'm just scared 
   C 
Or maybe it's the stories 
       G 
Coming from way over there

[Verso 2]
 
     Am 
It's time for me to go now 
     F 
It's time for me to fight 
     Am 
It's time for me to learn 
               G 
What keeps our bravest up at night 
Am 
Mother, don't forget me 
F 
Mother, please don't cry 
Am 
Please just try to keep me 
        G 
In your lonesome prayers at night

[Verso 3]
 
     C 
Well I just don't remember 
F 
I don't really see 
Am 
All I know is what 
         G 
My Uncle Sam had said to me 
         Am 
He said "It'll be a long one 
  F 
A long one, yes indeed 
    Am 
The rebels in the trees 
          G 
Are using all our souls to feed" 
        Am 
I hear "Son, it's time to lay down" 
     F 
And "Son, look out below" 
    Am 
The sky is raining fire 
        G 
I don't know which way to go 
    Am 
The burning rooms will haunt me 
    F 
The burning trees will too 
        Am 
And the burning men will muddy 
       G 
All my memories with you

[Verso 4]
 
C 
Brother, time to wake up 
    F 
And brother, time to leave 
    Am 
And brother, keep a lookout 
        G 
While I try my best to sleep 
    Am 
And brother, come and find me 
    F 
And brother, we're all fine 
    C 
And brother, take a breath 
           G 
And try to sort your left from right 
    C/G 
And brother, we must leave him 
    F 
And brother, we must fly 
    Am 
And brother, if we don't go now 
   G N.C. 
We will get left behind 
    Am 
And brother, watch the tunnel 
    F 
And brother, watch the trees 
C/G 
And brother, I can't save you 
G 
From too many holes you bleed

C/G 
Ma, I'm going crazy 
F 
Ma, come get your son 
Am 
I keep trying to fight 
          G 
When everybody says I'm done 
     Am 
They say it doesn't matter 
     F 
They say I've had my fun 
     C N.C. 
They tell me that the only thing 
  G N.C. 
I understand's a gun 
       Am 
Well I guess that may be true 
        F 
And I'm just stuck in the past 
Am 
Brother, I can't save you 
       G 
You're bleeding out 
        Am 
Way too fast

  C/G 
I guess I'll get my rifle 
  F 
I guess I'll get in line 
  Am 
I guess I'll wait for God 
   G 
To let me know when it's my time 

  Am 
I guess I'll get my rifle

I guess I'll get in line 
  Am 
I guess I'll wait for God

I guess I'll get in line

I guess I'll wait for God 
   G 
To let me know when it's my time

I guess I'll get my rifle

I guess I'll get in line

I guess I'll wait for God
