Rebel's Goodbye Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Oh the lilies were laid on [Dm]the marble in
the [F]field where the [C]ancestors [G]lay,
And the forest was dark and [Dm]primeval but the
[F]boughs seemed to [C]cradle [G]as they swayed,
And the [F]church choir [C]sang halle[G]lujah,
and the [F]vernal breeze [C]whispered [G]a sigh,
Watch the [F]brethren all [C]stand,
praise their [F]God, raise [G]your hand,
Tow [Bb]the bell for the [F]Rebel's
good[C]bye
[Bb][F]

[Verse 2]
[C]
When the [G]boots hit the dirt in forma[Dm]tion
[F]the mood was determ[C]ined and [G]bright,
And a young, hopeful boy at the sta[Dm]tion
watched the [F]train carry [C]troops to the [G]fight,
But [F]the generals [C]died by as[G]sassins,
the bat[F]talions dis[C]persed on the [G]fly,
And they [F]paid for their [C]sins
with the [F]blood of [G]their kin,
Tow [Bb]the bell for the [F]Rebel's good[C]bye
[Bb][F]

[Interlude 1]
[C][G][Dm][F][C][G]
[Dm][F][C][G]

[Verse 3]
In the [F]dark heathen [C]barracks [G]of failure where
the [F]tormenters [C]wait for the [G]night,
And [F]the sheltering [C]sky hears their [F]lost,
tattered [G]cries,
Tow [Bb]the bell for the [F]Rebel's good[C]bye

[Outro 1]
[Bb]
