Bb 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 won and lost, and legends of old
F
A seasoned veteran in his own time
Bb F
On the battlefield, he gained respectful fame
C G
With many medals of bravery and stripes to his name
D# A#
He grew a beard as soon as he could to cover the scars on his face
F
And always urged his men on
[Verse 2]
Bb F
But on the eve of a great battle with the infantry in dream
C G
The old general tossed in his sleep and wrestled with its meaning
D# A#
He awoke from that night to tell what he had seen
F
And walked slowly out of his tent
Bb F
All the men held tall with their chests in the air
C G
With courage in their blood and a fire in their stare
D# A#
And it was a grey morning and they all wondered how they would fare
F
Till the old general told them to go home
[Chorus]
Bb F C G D#
He said, "I have seen the others, and I have discovered
A# F
That this fight is not worth fighting
Bb F C
And I've seen their mothers
G D#
And I will no other
A# F
To follow me where I'm going
Bb F C G D#
So take your shower, shine your shoes, you got no time to lose
A# F
You are young and you must be living
Bb F C G D#
So take your shower, shine your shoes, you got no time to lose
A# F
You are young and you must be living
F (G Bb C Bb G F)x2
Go now, you are forgiven"
[Outro]
Bb F
Go now, you are forgiven
C G
Go now, you are forgiven
D# A#
Go now, you are forgiven
F
Go
