E
(INTRO)

E A
two horses were trotting, they pranced and they ran

E B
each one was commanded by a cavalry man

E A
two horses stood grazing where their dead riders lay

E B E
a Union mare and a Confederate grey
 


E A
they nuzzled each other as they teased and had fun

E B
they bathed in the warm rays of the old Southern sun

E A
no more senseless orders for them to obey

E B E
so they acted like lovers, this mare and this grey

e f# g#
A D A D E
A D A D E
(INSTRUMENTAL)
 


E A
now these are such sad times that we're all living in

E B
for killing you brother is the mightiest sin

E A
how happy we'd be if we acted the way

E B E
of the Union mare and the Confederate grey

e f# g#
A D A D E
A D A D E
(INSTRUMENTAL)
 


E A
two horses were trotting, they pranced and they ran

E B
each one was commanded by a cavalry man

E A
two horses stood grazing where their dead riders lay

E B E A E
a Union mare and a Confederate grey
