The Ballad of F Troop

The end of the ci--vil war was near
6  7 -8 8  7  7 -9  8  7

When quite ac--ci--den--tal--ly,
 6   7  -8  8  7   6  -6

A   he--ro who sneezed a--rupt--ly seized
6  7 -8  8   7    7  -9   8   7

De--feat and re-versed it to vic--to--ry.
6  -6  6  6  -6   6 6 -6   -7  7



His me--dal of hon--our pleased and thrilled
6  7 -8  8 7   7   -9    8    7

His proud lit-tle fam--ily group.
6   7  -8  8  7   6  -6

While pin--ning it on some lood was spilled,
6    7   -8  8 7  7  -9   8    7

And so it was planned he'd com--and F  Troop.
6 -6 6  6  -6    6   6  -6 -7  7



Where in--di--an fights are col--our--ful sights and no--od--y takes a  lick--in',
-8   8  8  8   8   7 -8  -8  -8   -8  -7  7  7  7  7  -6 -7  -7

Where pale--face and red--skin oth turn chick--en.
 7    8    7  7 -8   -7   7  -6   -7  -6



When drill--ing and fight--ing get them down
 6   7   -8  8   7    7 -9   8   7

They know their mor--ale can't droop,
 6   7  -8   8   7   6   -6

As long as they all re--lax in town
6  7 -8  8  7  7 -9  8  7

e--fore they re--sume with a  ang and a  oom, F  Troop.
