Am                          Dm              Am
Some had on the Rebel grey, Some the Union blue,
Asus4                                 G        Em     Am
They were fathers sons and brothers, men like me and you.
Am                                  Dm               Am
Engaged in heavy battle, till there came that cloudy draw,
Asus4                              G         Em      Am
When silence took the battlefield men just stood in awe.

      F             G                 C                Am
Some say it was the cannon smoke some say the Northern lights,
Dm                             G         Em         Am
That cast a ghostly image over Fredericksburg that night,
     F                 G               C             Am
Some say it was God's spirit lookin' o'er the bloody sod,
         Dm                G          Am(hold)                              
but that rainbow mist that filled the sky, was the tears of God.

Am                                Dm                   Am
Both sides read his Holy Word and believed it in their hearts,
Asus4                                             G        Em   Am
But the common ground He'd blessed them with had now been torn apart.
Am                                Dm              Am
Covered by the blood they shed so many lost their lives, 
Asus4                                G         Em       Am
The fight on that Virginia hill was enough to make Him cry.

     F              G                 C                Am
Some say it was the cannon smoke some say the Northern lights,
Dm                             G         Em         Am
That cast a ghostly image over Fredericksburg that night,
     F                 G               C             Am
Some say it was God's spirit lookin' o'er the bloody sod,
         Dm                G          Am(hold)                              
but that rainbow mist that filled the sky, was the tears of God.

      F             G                 C                Am
Some say it was the cannon smoke some say the Northern lights,
Dm                             G         Em         Am
That cast a ghostly image over Fredericksburg that night,
     F                 G               C             Am
Some say it was God's spirit lookin' o'er the bloody sod,
         Dm                G          Am                              
but that rainbow mist that filled the sky,
G        Em      Am
was the tears of God.
