This_song_is_much_more_complex_the_way_Bob_plays_it,_but_this_is_an_easy_way_to_
play_it_and_it_definitely_gives_you_an_idea.
Am
When_John_Brown_went_off_to_war_to_fight_on_a_foreign_shore.
___________G________D________Am
His_mother_sure_was_proud_of_him!
Am
As_he_stood_straight_and_tall_in_his_uniform_and_all.
___________________G_________D________Am
His_mothers_face_broke_out_all_to_a_grin.
"Oh_son,_you_look_so_fine,_Im_glad_youre_a_son_of_mine,
You_make_me_proud_to_know_you_hold_a_gun.
Do_what_the_captain_says,_lots_of_medals_you_will_get,
And_well_put_them_on_the_wall_when_you_come_home."
When_that_old_train_pulled_out,_Johns_ma_began_to_shout,
Tellin_evrybody_in_the_whole_neighborhood:
"Thats_my_son_thats_about_to_go,_hes_a_soldier_now,_you_know."
She_made_well_sure_her_neighbors_understood.
C___G______Am____
Oh!_Lord!_Understood!
She_got_a_letter_once_in_a_while_and_her_face_broke_into_a_smile
As_she_showed_them_to_the_people_from_next_door.
And_she_bragged_about_her_son_with_his_uniform_and_gun,
And_these_things_you_called_a_good_old-fashioned_war.
Then_the_letters_ceased_to_come,_for_a_long_time_theyd_never_come.
They_ceased_to_come_for_about_nine_months_or_more.
Then_a_letter_finally_came_saying,_"Go_down_and_meet_the_train.
Your_sons_a-coming_home_from_the_war."
Oh!_Lord!_From_the_war.
She_smiled_and_went_right_down,_she_looked_up_and_all_around
But_she_did_not_see_her_soldier_son_in_sight.
But_as_all_the_people_passed,_she_saw_her_son_at_last,
When_she_did_she_could_hardly_believe_her_eyes.
His_face_was_all_shot_up_and_his_hands_were_both_blown_off
And_he_wore_a_metal_brace_around_his_waist.
He_whispered_kind_of_slow,_in_a_voice_she_did_not_know,
While_she_couldnt_even_recognize_his_face!
"Oh_my_darling_son,_tell_me_what_to_you_they_done.
How_is_it_that_you_come_to_be_this_way?"
His_mouth_could_hardly_move_as_he_tried_his_best_to_talk
And_she_did_not_even_recognize_his_voice.
"Dont_you_remember,_Ma,_when_I_went_off_to_war
You_thought_it_was_the_best_thing_I_could_do?
I_was_on_the_battleground,_you_were_home,_feeling_proud.
Thank_God_you_wasnt_standing_in_my_shoes."
"Oh,__I_thought_when_I_was_there,_God,_what_am_I_doing_here?
Im_a-tryin_to_kill_my_enemy_or_die_tryin.
But_as_the_enemy_came_close,_the_thing_that_hurt_me_most
As_I_saw_that_his_face_looked_just_like_mine."
Oh!_Lord!_Just_like_mine!
"And_I_couldnt_help_but_think,_through_the_thunder_sound_and_stink,
That_I_was_just_a_puppet_in_a_play.
And_through_the_roar_and_smoke,_this_string_is_finally_broke,
And_a_cannon_ball_blew_my_eyes_away."
As_he_turned_away_to_walk,_his_Ma_was_still_in_shock
At_seein_the_metal_brace_that_helped_him_stand.
But_as_he_turned_to_go,_he_called_his_mother_close
And_he_dropped_his_medals_down_into_her_hand.
Oh!_Lord!_To_her_hand!
