IF I WERE NOT IN BLUE
ARTIST:BACK TO BASICS(band located in Maine)
standard tuning E,A,D,G,B,E

G                               C 
I turned 17 in '63 on a battle feild in Tennessee.
G                                    D
I did what I was told do an never questioned why,
G           
until in Dixburg on some farmers land,
C
so close that we fought hand in hand
G                 D               G
I met a rebel boy, but spared his life

chorus:
C                      D
In another place another time 
G
you mighthave been a freind of mine.
C                             D           G
There'd be no bloody feilds no screams of pain
C                             D
And i have too wonder what could be,
G
if it came down to you an me.
C           D                  G
If i wore dodden blue or union gray

bridge:  play the verse chords while someone picks out the song(G,C,G,D,G,C,G,D,G)

verse:
G
He was 17 and dressed in grey, and 
C
I could tell that in so many ways,
G                                D
we had a lot in common underneath that uniform.
G
In the day light we fought fearlessly,
C
in the dark we cried ourselves to sleep
G               D               G
longing for our mother's loving arms

repeat chorus
