Matthew crossed the river on his horse 
            Dm           Bb              G       Am 
Said, "This bullet in my side is getting worse" 
             C               F 
Called in to fight without a choice 
        Dm                Bb 
We were just too weak to move 
       G 
We got nothing left to prove

And I, I, I just want to go home

Fever started dragging Matthew down 
      Dm             Bb          G     
And I hope we find a doctor or a town 
  Am               C             F 
Today we left good people on the ground 
          Dm               Bb 
They were just too weak to move 
       G 
We got nothing left to prove

And I, I, I just want to go home

Martha's alone

I've been gone too long, too long 

  
  
Bridge: 
          Dm            Bb 
Well they hit us in the morning  
    F                           C      G 
And cannon balls made us all go down 
     Dm            Bb 
They hit us in the morning 
        F                              C       
And the cannon balls scared us half to death 
              E E7 Am 
Never felt so scared__

I have seen all that I can stand 
        Dm               Bb                   G     Am 
And the cotton's burning black throughout our land 
            C            F 
Had Matthew been a wiser man 
        Dm               Bb

We got nothing left to prove
