Verse:

            A#                          F
 There was a decorated general with a heart of gold
          C                       G
that likened him, to all the stories he told,
          d#                      A#
of past battles one and lost and legends of old
   F         F         F    F
a seasoned veteran in his own time.

follow this pattern for the whole song, listen for the ryhthm, the whole
uses only these chords.
