        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.
