[Verse]
      Am                     G          F
I was there in the winter of 'sixtyfour ■
          G          F               
Camped in the ice at Nashville's door
C                       G         Am7 
Three hundred miles our trail had lead
G                            F       
■ We barely had time to bury our dead
                                      G   
When the smoke cleared and the colors fell
                   F          
Overton Hill was a living hell
                          G              
When we called retreat it was almost dark
                              Am   
I died with a grapeshot in my heart


[Chorus]
F     G          Am7  
Say a prayer for peace
F         C      G  
For every fallen son
F      G      Am7 
Set my spirit free
F          C       G  
Let me lay down my gun
Dm7                      F    
Sweet mother Mary I'm so tired
                 G                  Am     G     F
But I can't come home 'til the last shot's fired ■


[Verse]
      Am                 G  F         
I was there on the beach in 'fortyfour
G                            F          
■ Waded through the blood of Omaha Shore
      C             G               Am
I was twentyone and scared to death ■ 
Am7          G           F       
■   My heart poundin' in my chest
                  G          
I almost made the old seawall
                                   F      
When my friends turned and watched me fall
                                        G  
I still smell the smoke I can taste the mud
                                    Am   
As I lay there dying from a loss of blood


[Chorus]
F     G          Am    Am7
Say a prayer for peace ■  
F         C      G  
For every fallen son
F          G      Am  
And set my spirit free
F          C       G  
Let me lay down my gun
Dm                F           
Sweet mother Mary I'm so tired
                                    Am          
But I can't come home 'til the last shot's fired


[Bridge]
F                           
I'm in the fields of Vietnam
    G                       
The mountains of Afghanistan
    F                               
And I'm still waitin' hopin' prayin'
G                    
I did not die in vain


[Chorus]
Gsus4 G                      Am
■     Say a prayer for peace ■ 
G                  F   C         G
For every daughter and every son ■
F       G       Am  
Set our spirits free
       F   C        G   
Let us lay down our guns
             Dm7  C     F       
Sweet mother Mary we're so tired
                                G    Am     Am7   Am Fmaj7
But we can't come home 'til the last shot's fired ■  ■    
         F           G    
'til the last shot's fired
F                                                      Am   
Let's all pray that someday soon the last shot will be fired


[Outro]
Am            
Pray for peace
