      G              C         D         
Oh, I marched to the battle of New Orleans, 
       G          C             D
at the end of the early British wars 
    G                  C
The young land started growing, 
    Am                  Em
the young blood started flowing, 
    Am      C           D
but I ain't marchin' anymore 

         G                  C
For I've killed my share of Indians,
     D
in a thousand different fights, 
      G            C          D
I was there at the Little Big Horn 
        G        C            Am        Em
I heard many men lying, I saw many more dying, 
    Am      C           D
but I ain't marchin' anymore 

     Am         C      G              Em  
It's always the old to lead us to the wars, 
     Am         Em       Am
it's always the young to fall 
    Am                              Em
Now look at all we've won, with the saber and the gun, 
C             Am       D
tell me is it worth it all? 

                G               C       D
For I stole California from the Mexican land, 
G             C            D
fought in the bloody Civil War 
       G              C
Yes, I even killed my brothers, 
    Am      Em
and so many others,  
    Am      C           D
but I ain't marchin' anymore 

      G              C              D
For I marched to the battles of the German trench, 
     G            C                D
in a war that was bound to end all wars 
      G                  C
Oh, I must have killed a million men, 
    Am               Em
and now they want me back again, 
    Am      C           D
but I ain't marchin' anymore 

     Am         C      G              Em  
It's always the old to lead us to the wars, 
     Am         Em       Am
it's always the young to fall 
    Am                              Em
Now look at all we've won, with the saber and the gun, 
C             Am       D
tell me is it worth it all? 

      G              C              D
For I flew the final mission in the Japanese sky 
    G              C        D
Set off the mighty mushroom roar 
       G              C          Am              Em
When I saw the cities burning, I knew that I was learning 
     Am      C           D
that I ain't marchin' anymore 

        G              C
Now the labor leader's screamin',
          D
when they close the missile plants 
G                    C            D
United Fruit screams at the Cuban shore, 
        G                C
Call it peace or call it treason,
        Am              Em
call it love or call it reason, 
    Am      C           D
but I ain't marchin' anymore 

    Am      C           D
No, I ain't marchin' anymore
