I Ain't Marching Anymore
Phil Ochs

Pre>

D g c d

Oh I marched to the battle of new orleans

G c d

At the end of the early british war

Gc

The young land started growing

G

The young blood started flowing

C am d

But I ain't marchin' anymore


For I've killed my share of indians

In a thousand different fights

I was there at the little big horn

I heard many men lying

I saw many more dying

But I ain't marchin' anymore


C g

It's always the old to lead us to the war

C am d

It's always the young to fall

Now look at all we've won with the sabre and the gun

Tell me is it worth it all


For I stole california from the mexican land

Fought in the bloody civil war

Yes I even killed my brother

And so many others

And I ain't marchin' anymore


For I marched to the battles of the german trench

In a war that was bound to end all wars

Oh I must have killed a million men

And now they want me back again

But I ain't marchin' anymore


[Chorus:]


For I flew the final mission in the japanese sky

Set off the mighty mushroom roar

When I saw the cities burning

I knew that I was learning

That I ain't marchin' anymore


Now the labor leader's screamin' when they close the missile plants,

United fruit screams at the cuban shore,

Call it peace or call it treason,

Call it love or call it reason,

But I ain't marchin' any more.


There seems to be a variety of opinions about the chords for this song. Since I am not able to judge which is right, I will simply present all of them.


The first set of chords were provided by dave miller:


D g c d

Oh I marched to the battle of new orleans

G c d

G c

G

The young blood started flowing

C am d

But I ain't marchin' anymore


C g

It's always the old to lead us to the war

C am d

Jeffrey shallit tells me that these are the correct chords:

Dg c c/bd/a

Simultaneously, I got a message from james barnett giving these chords:
