[Verse 1]
There was a [G]decorated general
with a [D]heart of gold
That [Am]likened him to all the [Em]stories he told
[C]Of past battles won and los[G]t
and legends of old
[D]A seasoned veteran in his own time
On the [G]battlefield he gained res[D]pect for fame
With [Am]many medals of bravery
and [Em]stripes to his name
He [C]grew a beard as soon as he could
to [G]cover the scars on his face
[D]And always urged his men on
But on the [G]eve of great battle
with the [D]infantry and dream
The old [Am]general tossed in his sleep
and [Em]wrestled with its meaning
He a[C]woke from that night
to [G]tell what he had seen
[D]And walked slowly out of his tent
All the [G]men held tall with their [D]chests in the air
With the [Am]courage in their blood
and a [Em]fire in their stare
And it was [C]a gray morning
and they all [G]wondered how they would fair
[D]'Till the old general told them to go home

[Chorus 1]
He said
[G]I have see[D]n the oth[Am]ers
And [Em]I have disco[C]vered
That [G]this fight is not worth [D]fighting
[G]And I've see[D]n their mot[Am]hers
And [Em]I will no ot[C]her
To [G]follow me where I'm [D]going
[G]So, take your [D]shower, shine your [Am]shoes
You [Em]got no t[C]ime to lose
You are [G]young men, you must be [D]living
[G]Take your sho[D]wer, shine your sho[Am]es
Well, you [Em]got no t[C]ime to lose
You are [G]young men, you must be [D]living

[Interlude 1]
Go now, you are forgiven
[Em](Yea[D]h)
[Em][D]

[Verse 2]
But the [G]men stood fast
with their [D]guns on their shoulders
Not [Am]knowing what to do
with the [Em]contradicting orders
The [C]general said he would do his own duty
but [G]he would extend it no further
[D]The men could go as they pleased
But not a [G]man moved,
their eyes [D]gazed straight ahead
'Till [Am]one by one they stepped back
and [Em]not a word was said
And the old [C]general was left
with his own [G]words echoing in his head
[D]He then prepared to fight

[Chorus 2]
He said
[G]I have see[D]n the oth[Am]ers
And [Em]I have disco[C]vered
That [G]this fight is not worth [D]fighting, no
[G]And I've see[D]n their mot[Am]hers
And [Em]I will no ot[C]her
To [G]follow me where I'm [D]going
[G]So, take your [D]shower, shine your [Am]shoes
You [Em]got no t[C]ime to lose
You are [G]young men, you must be [D]living
[G]Take your sho[D]wer, shine your sho[Am]es
Well, you [Em]got no t[C]ime to lose
You are [G]young men, you must be [D]living

[Interlude 2]
Go now, you are forgiven
