***** I use UltimateGuitar.com every day, so I want to give something back. If anyone has more Jimmy Driftwood lyrics/chords, please post them! As far as I can tell there is no C in the first verse of the chorus, as bad as I want to put one in there. The intro and GDGG at the end of the chorus is my best guess on how to follow the mandolin (turn-around?) part. If this is wrong, please help me fix it! ***** Soldier's Joy By Jimmy Driftwood *** Repeat the chorus after every verse. *** INTO: G D G G VERSE 1: G C Some continental soldiers on a bivouac G D Were playing stud poker in a mountain shack G C But every vigilante threw down his hand, when the D G Captain of the guard gave a sharp command, oh CHORUS: G Jimmy get your fiddle out and rosin up the bow G D Johnny tune your banjo up we're gonna have a show G C Billy pass the jug around to Corporal McCoy D G G D G G We're gonna have a tune called Soldier's Joy VERSE 2: G C The girls in Boston are dancin' tonight G D The gall-derned Redcoats are holding them tight G C When we get there we will show them how D G but that ain't a doin' us no good now, so VERSE 3: G C There goes General Washington G D He's got his horse in a sweeping run [ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/j/jimmy-driftwood/373366.html ] G C The barefooted boys are a beggin' to fight, and D G we're gonna cross the Delaware River tonight, so VERSE 4: G C Old Burgoyne in the wilderness G D Got his army in an awful mess G C The farmers got mad at the British and Huns, and D G captured ten thousand of the son of a guns, so VERSE 5: G C John Paul Jones in an old tin can G D Scoured the ocean like a fightin' man G C The British said Paul are you ready to strike D G and Paul said I'm just beginnin' to fight, so VERSE 6: G C General Washington and Rochanbeau G D Drinkin' their wine in the campfire's glow G C Big Dan Morgan came a gallopin' in, and said D G We got Cornwallis in the old Cowpens, so VERSE 7: G C Wake up buddy have you heard the news G D Grandma Britain's got an awful bruise G C The Redcoats cried and cursed Yorktown, while the D G band played The World's Turned Upside Down, so VERSE 8: G C A homemade fiddle and a mandolin G D An old banjo and a tambourine G C A big dumb bully for the drummer boy D G Everybody loves to hear the Soldier's Joy, so ENDING: D G Gonna have a tune called Soldier's Joy |
