Artist/Band: Clark Guy Tabs
Song: Soldier's Joy 1864 Tab
Capo 2
Am Dm Am E7
First I thought a snake had got me it happened dreadful quick
Am Dm Am G Am
Was a bullet bit my leg, right off I got sick
Am Dm Am E7
I came to in a wagon load of ten more wounded men
Am Dm Am G Am C/G
Five was dead by the time we reached that bloody tent
C F C G7
Gimme some of that Soldier�s Joy, you know what I mean
C F C G7 Am
I don�t want to hurt no more my leg is turnin� green
The doctor came and looked at me and this is what he said
Your dancin� days are done, son, it�s a wonder you ain�t dead
Then he went to work with a carvin� knife sweat fell from his brow
�Bout killed me tryin� to save my life when he cut that lead ball out
Give me some of that Soldier�s Joy, ain�t you got no more
Hand me down my walkin� cane I ain�t cut out for war
Red blood run right through my veins run all over the floor
Run right down his apron strings like a river out the door
He handed me a bottle and said, son drink deep as you can
He turned away then he turned right back with a hacksaw in his hand
Gimme some of that Soldier�s Joy you know what I like
Bear down on that fiddle boys just like Saturday night
Gimme some of that Soldier�s Joy you know what I crave
I�ll be hittin� that Soldier�s Joy til I�m in my grave
C F C G
C F C G Am
