no capo C G there was a decorated general with a heart of gold Am Em that likened him to all the stories he told F C of past battles , won and lost and legends of old G a seasoned veteran in his own time C G on the battlefield , he gained respectable fame Am Em with many medals of bravery and stripes to his name F he grew a beard as soon as he could C G to cover the scars on his face and always urged his men on C G but on the eve of a great battle with the infantry in dream Am Em the old general tossed in his sleep and wrestled with its meaning F C he awoke from the night to tell what he had seen G and walked slowly out of his tent so basically all i wanted to do was make a novice version of this song as it has many difficult chords and tabs originally , and the whole song has the progression C , G , Am , Em , F , C , G . sorry if its not accurate enough for you i just wanted to make something easier for beginners . all the men held tall with their chests in the air with courage in their blood and a fire in their stare it was a gray morning and they all wondered how they would fare the old general told them to go home he said , "i have seen the others and i have discovered that this fight is not worth fighting oh and i’ve seen their mothers and i will no other to follow me where i’m going" so take a shower and shine your shoes you got no time to lose you are young men you must be living , yeah take a shower and shine your shoes you got no time to lose you are young men you must be living , go now you are forgiven yeah and the men stood fast 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 he would extend it 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 and the old general was left with his own words echoing in his head , he then prepared to fight he said , "i have seen the others and i have discovered that this fight is not worth fighting oh and i’ve seen their mothers and i will no other to follow me where i’m going" so take a shower and shine your shoes you got no time to lose you are young men you must be living , yeah take a shower and shine your shoes you got no time to lose you are young men you must be living , go now you are forgiven
