Capo1 C5 F5 C5 F5 C5 We were young and bound for glory F5 Itchin' for a fight like you G5 Bringin' hell and purgatory E5 To the boys who wore the Blue F5 G5 And I thought I'd seen it all E5 A5 Till the day night wouldn't fall F5 Oh how the sun did blaze G5 Wouldn't go down for days. C5 I got shot and lost my rifle F5 When the first wave hit the rise G5 And the guns rolled out like thunder E5 And the black smoke burned my eyes F5 G5 And I watched it all unfold E5 A5 Just the way the Bible told F5 Joshua's endless day G5 Keepin' the night at bay. A5 And the soldiers kept a comin' F5 Til the ground looked like a sea G5 Of Blue and Grey A5 And I watched it from a distance F5 G5 Wonderin' if I would've fought, or run away. Chorus: C5 The Day The Sun Stood Still G5 How they beat the bloody drums A5 And the seconds moved like hours F5 But the sunset never comes C5 And the cannons shake the ground G5 And the bullets test your will A5 Even shadows found no cover F5 On that Godforsaken hill G5 C5 F5 The Day The Sun Stood Still. C5 And I watched them lean their shoulders To the fearful hail of lead G5 And I prayed for night to save us E5 And I cried and bowed my head F5 G5 But the sun just kept a-creepin' E5 A5 Cross a cold indifferent sky F5 Castin' a deadly glow G5 On all the men below. A5 All the hours in a lifetime F5 G5 Don't add up to one while minute, in that s-un A5 And the heroes and the cowards F5 G5 Look the same when they have fallen, by the gun. Chorus2: C5 The Day The Sun Stood Still G5 And the North and South looked west A5 But the evening star was sleepin? F5 And the daylight wouldn't rest C5 Out on the killin? floor G5 The red sun on the hill A5 Shinin' down on all the dead men F5 With a strange and eerie chill G5 C5 The Day The Sun Stood Still. Bb5 F5 Do not judge, what you brother does C5 Till you've walked a mile G5 Rank by bloody file Bb5 F5 G5 Who's to say, if you'll run or stay, and f-ight. Chrous3: C5 The Day The Sun Stood Still G5 Is just beneath the skin A5 In the soul of every soldier F5 Every battle that he's in C5 The Day The Sun Stood Still G5 Will haunt your dreams at night A5 And stalk your every sunrise F5 Though you will not know it till G5 C5 The Day The Sun Stood Still. G5 How they beat the bloody drums A5 And the seconds moved like hours F5 But the sunset never comes C5 And the cannons shake the ground G5 And the bullets test your will A5 Even shadows found no cover F5 On that Godforsaken hill G5 C5 F5 The Day The Sun Stood Still. C5 F5 The Day The Sun Stood Still C5 F5 The Day The Sun Stood Still C5 The Day The Sun Stood Still.
