Verse 1
Am
John Brown went off to war
A
Am
To fight on a foreign shore
G
Am
His mama sure was proud of him
He stood so straight and tall
In uniform and all
A
G
Am
His mama's face broke out into a grin
Oh, son, you look so fine,
so glad you're a son of mine
G
You make me proud to know
Am
you're all are gone
Do what the captain says,
lots of medals you will get
G
We'll put them on the wall
Am
when you come home
As that old train pulled out,
John's mom began to shout
G
Telling everyone in the neighborhood
Am
That's my son that's about to go,
he's a soldier now you know
A
Am
She made well sure her
G
neighbors understood
A
Am
She got a letter once in a while,
and her face broke into a smile
A
She showed them to the
G
A
people from next door
Am
A
She bragged about her son
with his uniform and gun
Am
G
These things are called good
A
Am
old fashioned love
And the letters ceased to come,
A
for a long time they did not come
Am
They ceased to come
G
Am
for about ten months or more
Then a letter finally came saying,
A
go down and meet that train
Am
G
Am
Your son is coming back from the war
A
Am
She smiled and looked right down,
A
she looked up and all around
Am
A
G
Am
She could not see his soldiers in the sand
A
Am
But as all the people passed,
A
she saw her son at last
G
Am
When she did, she could not believe her eyes
A
Am
A
Oh, his face was all charred up,
Am
A
his hand was all blown off
Am
A
And he wore a metal brace
G
A
around his waist
Am
A
He was kinda slow,
Am
and a voice she did not know
G
A
And she couldn't even recognize his face
Am
Tell me darlin' son,
tell me what have they done
G
A
How is it that you've come to be this way?
Am
He tried his best to talk,
A
but his mouth could hardly move
G
Am
And his mother had to turn her face away
Do you remember Ma,
when I went off to war?
G
Am
I thought it was the best thing I could do
I was on the battleground,
you were home just acting proud
You wasn't there,
G
Am
A
Am
standing in your shoes
G
Am
I thought when I was there,
A
Am
Lord, what am I doing here?
G
I'm trying to kill somebody,
Am
But the thing that scared me most,
when my enemy was close
A
G
I could see that his face
A
looked just like mine
Am
A
And I couldn't help but think,
G
A
Am
through the thunderous sound and stink
A
G
A
That I was just a puppet in a play
G
Am
An d through the rolling smoke,
A
the string had finally broke
Am
G
Am
A
And a cannonball blew my eyes away
Am
A
As he turned away to go,
his ma was still in shock
Am
And seen the metal brace
G
A
that helped him stand
Am
But as he turned to leave,
A
Am
he called his mother close
Am
G
And dropped his medals down
A
Am
A
Am
A
in her hand
