It was a faction of the Army of the Cumberland, the 15th Army Corp
       G                                                          Am
Just a few years back were a bunch of boys that never left home before

But the shame of Chickamauga, so hungry they could almost die
    G                                                             Am

Clamored up the mountain side

      G                                                   Am
Don't call to arms those poltergeists, open up the casket lid
       C                  Am      G               C
You'll wake those boys to wander among the old carnage

So don't go whistling Dixie on Missionary Ridge

Gazing down on Chattanooga, Bragg could not foresee the fight

The Union broke the Confederate line and marched out to the sea

Marched out to the sea

    G                                               Am
The darkness of that memory lies buried in a sunny place
