C (x32010@1)We were young and bound for glory
F (133211@1)Itchin' for a fight like you
G (320003@1)Bringin' hell and purgatory
Em (022000@1)To the boys who wore the Blue
F (133211@1) G (320003@1)And I thought I'd seen it all
Em (022000@1) Am (x02210@1)Till the day night wouldn't fall
F (133211@1)Oh how the sun did blaze
G (320003@1)Wouldn't go down for days.
C (x32010@1)I got shot and lost my rifle
F (133211@1)When the first wave hit the rise
G (320003@1)And the guns rolled out like thunder
Em (022000@1)And the black smoke burned my eyes
F (133211@1) G (320003@1)And I watched it all unfold
Em (022000@1) Am (x02210@1)Just the way the Bible told
F (133211@1)Joshua's endless day
G (320003@1)Keepin' the night at bay.
Am (x02210@1)And the soldiers kept a comin'
F (133211@1)Til the ground looked like a sea
G (320003@1)Of Blue and Grey
Am (x02210@1)And I watched it from a distance
F (133211@1) G (320003@1)Wonderin' if I would've fought, or run away.
Chorus:
C (x32010@1)The Day The Sun Stood Still
G (320003@1)How they beat the bloody drums
Am (x02210@1)And the seconds moved like hours
F (133211@1)But the sunset never comes
C (x32010@1)And the cannons shake the ground
G (320003@1)And the bullets test your will
Am (x02210@1)Even shadows found no cover
F (133211@1)On that Godforsaken hill
G (320003@1) C (x32010@1) F (133211@1)
The Day The Sun Stood Still.
C (x32010@1)And I watched them lean their shoulders
To the fearful hail of lead
G (320003@1)And I prayed for night to save us
Em (022000@1)And I cried and bowed my head
F (133211@1) G (320003@1)But the sun just kept a-creepin'
Em (022000@1) Am (x02210@1)Cross a cold indifferent sky
F (133211@1)Castin' a deadly glow
G (320003@1)On all the men below.
Am (x02210@1)All the hours in a lifetime
F (133211@1) G (320003@1)Don't add up to one while minute, in that s-un
Am (x02210@1)And the heroes and the cowards
F (133211@1) G (320003@1)Look the same when they have fallen, by the gun.
Chorus2:
C (x32010@1)The Day The Sun Stood Still
G (320003@1)And the North and South looked west
Am (x02210@1)But the evening star was sleepin?
F (133211@1)And the daylight wouldn't rest
C (x32010@1)Out on the killin? floor
G (320003@1)The red sun on the hill
Am (x02210@1)Shinin' down on all the dead men
F (133211@1)With a strange and eerie chill
G (320003@1) C (x32010@1)The Day The Sun Stood Still.
Bb (x1333x@1) F (133211@1)Do not judge, what you brother does
C (x32010@1)Till you've walked a mile
G (320003@1)Rank by bloody file
Bb (x1333x@1) F (133211@1) G (320003@1)Who's to say, if you'll run or stay, and f-ight.
Chrous3:
C (x32010@1)The Day The Sun Stood Still
G (320003@1)Is just beneath the skin
Am (x02210@1)In the soul of every soldier
F (133211@1)Every battle that he's in
C (x32010@1)The Day The Sun Stood Still
G (320003@1)Will haunt your dreams at night
Am (x02210@1)And stalk your every sunrise
F (133211@1)Though you will not know it till
G (320003@1) C (x32010@1)The Day The Sun Stood Still.
G (320003@1)How they beat the bloody drums
Am (x02210@1)And the seconds moved like hours
F (133211@1)But the sunset never comes
C (x32010@1)And the cannons shake the ground
G (320003@1)And the bullets test your will

F (133211@1)On that Godforsaken hill
G (320003@1) C (x32010@1) F (133211@1)
The Day The Sun Stood Still.
