[Intro 1]
[Csus4][C][Csus4][G][C][Csus4][C][Csus4][C]

[Verse 1]
[C]A mist
[Csus4]halos the[C] meadow and a soft wind
[Csus4]Breathes a whisper t[C]hrough the trees[Gsus4][G]
As I [Csus4]lean agai[C]nst a hi[Csus4]ckory I close[C]
[Csus4]my eyes and I [C]can almost[Gsus4] see[G]
[Am]The ghostly forms of blue [G]and gray
[C]And I can almost hear
the cannons [F]blast
[Dm]Standin' in the [G]presence
[Gsus4]of the past
[C]

[Verse 2]
[Csus4]The first few [C]waves came
[Csus4]cheerin'
Fear and [C]hatred runnin'
through their [Gsus4]blood[G]
When the [F]day was fi[C]nally over
[Csus4]Those left wadin' thr[C]ough a
crimson [Gsus4]flood[G]
[Am]To think I could [C]be [G]right here
In the spot [C]where some young soldier
breathed his [F]last[Csus4][F]
[Dm]Standin' in [Gsus4]the pres [G]ence [Gsus4]of
the past
[C][Gsus4][C]

[Verse 3]
[Csus4]
[Chorus]
Brother fightin' [C]brother[F]
Father fightin' [C]son
By [F]the time the sun was set[C]tin'
Looked like [Gsus4]the South [G]had won[C]
Now my [F]mouth's as dry as [C]cotton
And my [F]heart is beatin'
[Am]fast[G][C]
[Dm]Standin' in [Gsus4]the presence [G]of the pas
[C]t

[Interlude 1]
[C][Csus4][C][Csus4][C]

[Verse 4]
Sunrise [Csus4]caught the rebels
[C]sleepin' and they woke
[F]To [Csus4]hear a Ya[C]nkee
bugle [Gsus4]blow[G]
Bullets [C]flew [Csus4]like angry hornets[C]
Till [Csus4]the peach tree blossoms [C]drifted
down like [G]snow[Gsus4][G]
[Am]It must have been [C]like hell [G]on earth
What [C]happened here is more
than we can [F]grasp
[Dm]Standin' in [G]the presence [Gsus4]of the past

[Interlude 2]
[C][F][C][F][C][F]
[C][Gsus4][G][C][F][C][F][Am]
[C][Dm][Gsus4][C][Gsus4][C]

[Verse 5]
[F][Chorus]
Brother killin' [C]brother
[F]Father slayin' son[C]
From the [F]looks of this old [C]graveyard
Hell [Gsus4]nobody really wo[C]n
[F]Somethin's changed insid[C]e me
[F]It sure can happen [Am]fast
[Dm]Standin' in [G]the[Gsus4]
[G]prescence of the past
[C]

[Verse 6]
A mist halos [C]the meadow
and a soft wind
Breathes a whisper through
the trees
[Gsus4][G][Gsus4]
