Kansas Cried Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]He [G]fel[Dsus4]l in[D][A][D]
[Gm]love with a girl [D]named Kansas
In the [Gm]fall of 1863
[D]A f[Gm]arm boy and an officer's d[D]aughter
In a [Bm]time [A]when young hearts
shouldn't [G]dream
He said, Kansas,
I'll love you [D]forever
So she [Gm]married him under an August [D]sun
But as they [Gm]finished their vows
Some [D]soldiers came through town
Said, we're [Bm]lookin' for the
[A]willing and [G]the young[A]

[Verse 2]
He left her [D]standin' in her white dress
As [Dsus4]he bravely [G]marched [D]through
[G]the night[D]
And as she fell to the ground
He [Dsus4]left to t[D]he sound
Of hearing [A]his sweet Kansas
cry
[D][G][Gm]

[Verse 3]
He learned how to hunt 'round [D]Topeka
But he [Gm]learned how to kill [D]at Spring Hill
The [Gm]blood and the smoke
sure [D]crushed any hope
That [Bm]he'd find [A]his way
through that [G]hell[A]

[Verse 4]
He left her [D]standin' in her white dress
As [Dsus4]he bravely [G]marched [D]through
[G]the night[D]
And as she fell to the ground
He [G]left to [D]the sound
Of hearing [A]his sweet Kansas

[Interlude 1]
cry
[D][A][D][A]

[Verse 5]
He wrote, [Em]dear Kansas
I [G]fear that tonight I might
[D]break your heart
'Cause the [Em]fog's rollin' in,
and we're [G]runnin' outta men
And we've been [A]ordered
to lead the charge

[Verse 6]
He thought [A]of her in her white [D]dress
As [G]he bravely marched
toward [D]the line[G][D]
And [Dsus4]as he fell t[D]o the ground
He [G]called [D]her name out
And somewhere [A]his sweet Kansas [D]cried
