 Key:

Intro

Verse 1

Luther left us first light Friday morning

Little Dan and Becky waved goodbye

 They're gonna have to share the weight together

Idle hands will see a good farm slowly die

Chorus

Gone to Shiloh for the Union

 Shoulder to shoulder, side by side

Gone to Shiloh; hope springs eternal

 When flags and bullets start to fly

Verse 2

April's come and the air smells fresh with rain

 They watched his shadow fade around the bend

 He's headed for a different kind of thunder

 And the stunned surprise in the eyes of dying men

[Repeat Chorus]

Verse 3

 The old black rooster sang him down that dirt road

 His step seemed bold, his manner fancy-free

 I pray we see him alive and well in the fall here

Than that God-forsaken place in Tennessee

[Repeat Chorus}

Bridge

After all of this, if we should prevail

Heaven help the South when Sherman comes their way

Outro

Chorded by Elliot Malpass
