The General taby ukulele według Dispatch

Intro: Bb, F, Cm, Gm, Eb, Bb, F

            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 respect for fame
     Cm                         Gm
With many medals of bravery and stripes to his name
   Eb                                             Bb
He grew a beard as soon as he couuld 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 toosed in his sleep, a lesson 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 stood tall with their chests in the air
     Cm                         Gm
With courage in their blood and fire in their stares
   Eb                          Bb
It was a grey morning and they wondered how they would fare
F
'Till the old general told them to go home


{Chorus:}
He said
Bb       F        Cm           Gm      Eb
  I have seen the others and I have discovered
          Bb                     F
That this fight is not worth fighting
Bb         F          Cm            Gm      Eb
  And I've seen their mothers and I will no other
   Bb                  F
To follow me where I'm going
 Bb       F                  Cm
So take a shower, shine your shoes
     Gm               Eb
You've got no time to lose
        Bb                     F
You are young men; you must be living.
Bb       F                  Cm
  Take a shower, shine your shoes
       Gm             Eb
You've got no time to lose
        Bb                     F
You are young men; you must be living,
Bb                F
Go now you are forgiven.


{Same chords as first verses}
The men stood tall with their guns on their shoulders
Not knowing what to do with the contradicting orders
The general said he would do his own duty but it extended no further
The men could go as they pleased

But not a man moved, their eyes gazed straight ahead
'Till one by one they stepped back and not a word was said
The old general was left with his own words echoing in his head
He then prepared to fight

{Same chords as first chorus}
He said
I have seen the other and I have discovered
That this fight is not worth fighting
And I've seen their mothers and I will no other
To follow me where I'm going

So take a shower, shine your shoes
You've got no time to lose
You are young men you must be living
Take a shower, shine your shoes
You've got no time to lose
You are young men you must be living
Go now, you are forgiven.

Bb            F
  Go now, you are forgiven
Cm            Gm
  Go now, you are forgiven
Eb            Bb
  Go now, you are forgiven
F
Woah

Bb            F
  Go now, you are forgiven
Cm            Gm
  Go now, you are forgiven
Eb            Bb
  Go now, you are forgiven
F
Woah

Bb            F
  Go now, you are forgiven
Cm            Gm
  Go now, you are forgiven
Eb            Bb
  Go now, you got to be, got to be, got to be
F    Bb
 Yeah
