            Arrowhead 






CAPO: 5th Fret


INTRO: C  G  C    G    C    F    C  G  C    

         G                C
Mama, if you could see me now
                                  G       C
I'm not the boy you knew in Macon town
                                   F
They found a uniform about my size

It's a little big I guess, but that's alright
C        G                C
Mama, if you could see me now


              G                 C
Mama, they're treating me right well
                                         G        C
The men all say I brought this good luck spell
                                     F
I am the mascot of the Ninth Brigade

They will not march unless I lead the way
C             G                 C
Mama, they're treating me right well


        G             C
Mama, I do not have a gun
                                      G        C
I'm only lucky when I'm banging on my drum
                                               F
And I skinned a rabbit for the cook last night

He said that I could keep his Bowie knife
C       G             C
Mama, I do not have a gun


        G            C
Mama, I lost my arrowhead
                                     G        C
It was big enough to strike a bobcat dead
                                        F
Must've fallen when I climbed that tree

Yankee fires as far as I could see
C       G            C
Mama, I lost my arrowhead


          G                  C
Mama, the troops are falling in
                                           G        C
And we must move while we've still got the wind
                                              F
The scouts are fanning out like whippoorwills

Today we're marching over Bloody Hill
C         G                  C
Mama, the troops are falling in


INSTRUMENTAL: C  G  C    G    C    F    C  G  C


        G                 C
Mama, I never thought I'd run
                                                G    
But something happened when I saw those Yankees come
    C                                   F
Now I've been running now a week or two

Too ashamed to run back home to you
C       G                 C   F
Mama, I never thought I'd run__
   C       G                 C   F
Oh Mama, I never thought I'd run__
   C       G                 F       C
Oh Mama, I never thought I'd run___
