G C B Em
I slept as I dreamed of a time long a-go.
B Em C Am
I saw an army of rebels dancing on air.
G C B
I dreamed as I slept. I could see the camp fires,
Em Bm Em Bm
A song of the battle that was born in the flames,
Em Bm G
And the rebels were waltzing on air
G C B Em
I danced with a girl to the tune of a waltz
B Em C Am
That was written to be danced on the battle-field
G C B
I danced to the song of a voice of a girl
Em Bm Em Bm
A voice that called, 'Stand till we fall.
Em Bm G
We stand till all the boys fall.'
G C B Em
As we danced came the news that the war was not won
B Em C Am
Five armies were coming with carriage and gun.
G C B
Through the heart of the camp swept the news from the front.
Em Bm Em Bm
A cloud crossed the moon. A child cried for food.
Em Bm G
We knew the war could not be won.
G C Bm Em
So we danced with a rifle to the rhythm of the gun.
Bm Em C Am
In a glade, through the trees, I saw my only one.
G C B
Then the earth seemed to rise, hell hot as the sun.
Em Bm Em Bm
The soldiers were dying. There was a tune to the sighing.
Em Bm G
The song was an old rebel one.
G c B Em
As the smoke of our hopes rose high from the field,
B Em C Am
My eyes played tricks through the moon and the trees.
G C B
I slept as I dreamed I saw the army rise.
Em Bm Em Bm
A voice began to call, Stand till you fall
Em Bm G
The tune was an old rebel one.
