D g c d
3
Oh I marched to the battle of new orleans
4
G c d
5
At the end of the early british war
6
Gc
7
The young land started growing
8
G
9
The young blood started flowing
10
C am d
11
But I ain't marchin' anymore
12
For I've killed my share of indians
13
In a thousand different fights
14
I was there at the little big horn
15
I heard many men lying
16
I saw many more dying
17
But I ain't marchin' anymore
18
C g
19
It's always the old to lead us to the war
20
C am d
21
It's always the young to fall
22
Now look at all we've won with the sabre and the gun
23
Tell me is it worth it all
24
For I stole california from the mexican land
25
Fought in the bloody civil war
26
Yes I even killed my brother
27
And so many others
28
And I ain't marchin' anymore
29
For I marched to the battles of the german trench
30
In a war that was bound to end all wars
31
Oh I must have killed a million men
32
And now they want me back again
33
But I ain't marchin' anymore
34
[Chorus:]
35
For I flew the final mission in the japanese sky
36
Set off the mighty mushroom roar
37
When I saw the cities burning
38
I knew that I was learning
39
That I ain't marchin' anymore
40
Now the labor leader's screamin' when they close the missile plants,
41
United fruit screams at the cuban shore,
42
Call it "peace" or call it "treason,"
43
Call it "love" or call it "reason,"
44
But I ain't marchin' any more.
