[Verse]
 Em                                
We came up from Sheffield and they 
C9                 G
put us on the line
            D                  G  
You could smell the powder burning
     C9              D
 and man it hurt my eyes
      Em
They knew them boys were tired and 
weak
         C9                     G
We were fresh and we were strong
      D                G          
We could not wait to blast away 
   C9                  D
and make our presence known
   C9          G             C9  
Every time I took my aim and got 
            G
one in my sight
Em                              
In my heart I knew the way and 
C9                D
this way was not right

[Chorus]
    C9             G              
I guess my daddy would be proud 
      D            G
but my mama she's ashamed
 C9               G          
And I know deep down we need a 
      D
change
        C9               G
Them Northern boys are friends of 
mine
          D                 G
But I've got my Southern pride
        Em                       
Im standing here a fightin wishin 
    C      D
there         was another side

       Em
We burned each others crops and 
fields
     C9                  G
And took the very best
    D              G              
We fought our way back and forth 
        C9             D
and they put us to the test
   Em
I know that some things were wrong
     C9                      G
But what gave them the right
     D                      G     
To point their righteous fingers 
      C9              D
and expect us not to fight
 C9          G               
We all cried on the night they 
   C9              G
burned Atlanta down
Em                             C9
How much more can we take and 
                  D
still stand our ground

[Chorus]
     C9             G             
I guess my daddy would be proud 
      D             G
but my mama she's ashamed
 C9              G           
And I know deep down we need a 
      D
change
       C9                 G
Them colored boys are friends of 
mine
         D                 G
But I've got my Southern pride
 Em                                
I'm standing here a fightin wishin 
  C        D
there          was another side

 Em
In four years the smoke had cleared
       C9                   G
And I went back to the farm
          D           G           
Little brother met me at the 
      C9                D
bridge and he held out his arms
        Em                         
He was thin and weak and wounded 
     C9                    G
and dressed in Yankee blue
         D           G        
Well I cried and I held him and 
     C9              D
together we both knew
    C9               G            
If it could be done over there 
   C9            G
would be a better way
           Em                      
Still one family and one nation oh 
    C9                D
but what a price we pay

[Chorus]
   C9              G              
I guess my daddy would be proud 
      D              G
but my mama she's ashamed
 C9              G           
And I know deep down we need a 
      D
change
     C9                       G
Now some of them boys were friends 
of mine
     D                    G
But dang this Southern pride
       Em                       
I'm standing here a cryin wishin 
   C       D                      G
there          was another side
C9                                
      I'm wishin there was another
    G
 side
C9                                G
      Wishin there was another side
