Bb                                  F
There was a decorated General with a heart of gold 

Cm                          Gm
That likened him to all the stories he told 

   Eb                            Bb
Of past battles won and lost and legends of old 

F
A seasoned veteran in his own time 


Bb                          F
On the battlefield he gained respectful fame 

Cm                              Gm
With many medals of bravery and stripes to his name 

Eb                                              Bb
He grew a beard as soon as he could to cover the scars on 
his face 

F
And always urged his men on 


Bb                                     F
But on the eve of great battle with the infantry in dream 

        Cm                              Gm
The old general tossed in his sleep and wrestled with its meaning 

Eb                        Bb
He awoke from the night to tell what he had seen 

    F
And walked slowly out of his tent 


        Bb                      F
All the men held tall with their chests in the air 

         Cm                           Gm       
With the courage in their blood and a fire in their stare 

           Eb                         Bb
And it was a gray morning and they all wondered how they would 
fare 

F
Till the old general told them to go home 


Chorus: 

He said,

Bb     F        Cm         Gm     Eb               Bb          
I have seen the others and I have discovered that this fight

             F
is not worth fighting 

Bb       F          Cm          Gm        Eb       Bb          
And I've seen their mothers and I will no other to follow me
 
          F
where I'm going 


Bb           F                  Cm
So, take your shower, shine your shoes 

Gm                 Eb
You got no time to lose 

        Bb                    F
You are young men you must be living 


Bb        F                 Cm
Take your shower, shine your shoes 
Gm                        Eb
Well, you got no time to lose 
        Bb                    F
You are young men you must be living 

Go now you are forgiven 


Gm F Gm F


        Bb                        F
But the men stood fast with their guns on their shoulders
 
Cm                              Gm
Not knowing what to do with the contradicting orders 

       Eb                                                                     
The general said he would do his own duty but he would 

Bb
extend it no further 

F
The men could go as they pleased 
   
           Bb                        F
But not a man moved their eyes gazed straight ahead 

Cm                                             Gm
Till one by one they stepped back and not a word was said 

            Eb                                  Bb  
And the old general was left with his own words echoing in his head 

F
He then prepared to fight 

Chorus :

He said,

Bb     F        Cm         Gm     Eb               Bb          
I have seen the others and I have discovered that this fight

             F
is not worth fighting 

Bb       F          Cm          Gm        Eb       Bb          
And I've seen their mothers and I will no other to follow me
 
          F
where I'm going 


Bb           F                  Cm
So, take your shower, shine your shoes 

Gm                 Eb
You got no time to lose 

        Bb                    F
You are young men you must be living 


Bb        F                 Cm
Take your shower, shine your shoes 
Gm                        Eb
Well, you got no time to lose 
        Bb                    F
You are young men you must be living 

Go now you are forgiven
