The Giant Of The Thunderhead
Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:no capo
[Intro]
G C G D G D
[Verse]
C G
A bunch of Rebel soldiers were sittin' round one night,
A D
A talking to some Yankies in a spot way out of sight,
G C G
They'd slipped across the picket line to have a little chat,
C G D G
A chawing their to-bacco and swaping this and that.
[Verse]
C G
And while they were a talking they looked away up high,
A D
And saw a man a walkin' a-cross a moonlit sky,
G C G
He sat down on a pillow up-on a thunder-head,
C G D G
He looked down on the soldiers and this is what he said.
[Chorus]
C
You Yankies and you Rebels shake hands and then ca-ress,
G D G C G D G
Go home and read your Bibles and the Gettys-burg Address.
[Verse]
C G
The boys went to their bed rolls a-fraid to talk out loud,
A D
About the mighty Giant they saw upon the cloud,
G C G
Next day two famous Generals met near an apple tree,
C G D G
And one of them was U. S. Grant and one was Robert Lee.
[Verse]
C G
And when they finished talking and everybody knew,
A7 D
The awful war was over they shouted Halle-lue,
G C G
And all the people wondered a-bout the thunder-head,
C G D G
Did U. S. Grant and Robert Lee hear what the Giant said.
[Chorus]
C
You Yankies and you Rebels shake hands and then ca-ress,
G D G
Go home and read your Bibles and the Gettys-burg Address.
[Verse]
C
You'll never build a Nation in all this bloody mess,
G D G
Go home and read your Bibles and the Gettys-burg Address.
C G
You've got the grandest Country this World has ever known,
C G D
Your constitution is the brightest star that's ever shown,
[Ending]
G C
You Yankies and you Rebels shake hands and then ca-ress,
G D G
Go home and read your Bibles and the Gettys-burg Address.
C G D G
Go home and read your Bibles and the Gettysburg Add-ress.
