Missionary Ridge (CHORDS) by Shovels & Rope
[INTRO]~
Am
[VERSE]~
Am C
It was a faction of the Army of the Cumberland,, the 15th Army Corp
G Am
Just a few years back were a bunch of boys that never left home before
Dm Am G C
But the shame of Chickamauga,, so hungry they could almost die
G Am
Without any order from the General,, they clamored up the mountain side
G Am
Clamored up the mountain side
[CHORUS]~
C Am G C
Don't go whistling Dixie on Missionary Ridge
G Am
Don't call to arms those poltergeists,, open up the casket lid
C Am G C
You'll wake those boys to wander among the old carnage
G Am
So don't go whistling Dixie on Missionary Ridge
G Am G Am
[VERSE]~
Am C
On the 25th of November it happened in the broad daylight
G Am
Gazing down on Chattanooga,, Bragg could not foresee the fight
Dm Am G C
Outnumbered by the blue coats 2-to-1,, he tucked his tail to flee
G Am
The Union broke the Confederate line and marched out to the sea
G Am
Marched out to the sea
[CHORUS]~
C Am G C
Don't go whistling Dixie on Missionary Ridge
G Am
Don't call to arms those poltergeists,, open up the casket lid
C Am G C
You'll wake those boys to wander among the old carnage
G Am
So don't go whistling Dixie on Missionary Ridge
[SOLO]~
G Am G Am
G Am G Am
[VERSE]~
F G C
In the stillness of the morning,, when you breath that mountain air
G Am
The chill that you will feel,, reminds you what happened there
F G C
When the light drips down the mountain,, and the fog lifts from its face
G Am
The darkness of that memory lies buried in a sunny place
[CHORUS]~
C Am G C
Don't go whistling Dixie on Missionary Ridge
G Am
Don't call to arms those poltergeists,, open up the casket lid
C Am G C
You'll wake those boys to wander among the old carnage
G Am
So don't go whistling Dixie on Missionary Ridge
