And [D]I lost the war

[C]You mine [G]for silver
And [D]I pan for g[G]old
[C]You keep yours [G]hidden
When [D]all mine [G]is sold

[Bm]To the g[D]amblin' sc[G]ore
Where [C]I won the b[G]attle

[Verse 7]
They always told me
When death came my sins would be
Cast down, forgotten

[Verse 8]
Laid to rest with my body
[C]Pay your respects
[G]To the [D]old church- [G]house door
[C]Where I won [G]the battle
And I lost the [G]war
