Darryl Worley

from: Have You Forgotten?

written by: Darryl Worley, Wynn Varble, Don Poythress

A (F)mist halos the (C)meadow

And a (F)soft wind breathes a (C)whisper through the (G)trees

As I (F)lean against a (C)hickory

I (F)close my eyes and (C)I can almost (G)see

The (Am)ghostly forms of (G)blue and gray

(C)And I can almost hear the cannons (F)blast

(Dm)Standin' in the (G)presence of the (C)past

The (F)first few waves came (C)cheerin'

(F)Fear and hatered (C)runnin' through their (G)blood

When the (F)day was finally (C)over

Those (F)left were wadin' (C)through a crimson (G)flood

To (Am)think I could be (G)right here

In the (C)spot where some young soldier breathed his (F)last

(Dm)Standin' in the (G)presence of the (C)past

(F)Brother fightin; (C)brother

(F)Father fightin' (C)son

By the (F)time the sun was (C)settin'

Looked (Am)like the South had (C)won

Now my (F)mouth's as dry as (C)cotton

And my (F)heart is beatin' (Am)fast

(Dm)Standin' in the (G)presence of the (C)past

(C)Sunrise (F)caught the rebels (C)sleepin'

And they (F)woke to hear a (C)Yankee bugle (G)blow

Bullets (F)flew like angry (C)hornets

Till the (F)peach tree blossoms (C)drifted down like (G)snow

(Am)It must have been like (G)hell on earth

(C)What happened here is more than we can (F)grasp

(Dm)Standin' in the (G)presence of the (C)past

(F)Brother fightin' (C)brother

(F)Father fightin' (C)son

By the (F)time the smoke had (C)lifted

They (Am)knew the North had (C)won

(F)Lord my soul feels (C)empty

As my (F)tears fall on this (Am)grass

(Dm)Standin' in the (G)presence of the (C)past

(F)Brother killin' (C)brother

(F)Father slayin' (C)son

From the (F)looks of this old (C)graveyard

Hell (Am)nobody really (C)won

(F)Somethins' changed (C)inside me

It (F)sure can happen (Am)fast

(Dm)Standin' in the (G)presence of the (C)past

A (F)mist halos the (C)meadow

And a (F)soft wind breathes a (C)whisper through the (G)trees
