Am               Dm               Am                   E7 
First I thought a snake had got me it happened dreadful quick 
Am          Dm          Am        G     Am  
Was a bullet bit my leg, right off I got sick 
Am            Dm            Am               E7 
I came to in a wagon load of ten more wounded men 
Am           Dm          Am              G      Am  C/G 
Five was dead by the time we reached that bloody tent

Gimme some of that Soldier’s Joy, you know what I mean 
C              F            C         G7     Am 
I don’t want to hurt no more my leg is turnin’ green 
 
The doctor came and looked at me and this is what he said 

Your dancin’ days are done, son, it’s a wonder you ain’t dead 

Then he went to work with a carvin’ knife sweat fell from his brow 

‘Bout killed me tryin’ to save my life when he cut that lead ball out 
 
Give me some of that Soldier’s Joy, ain’t you got no more 

Hand me down my walkin’ cane I ain’t cut out for war 
 
Red blood run right through my veins run all over the floor 

Run right down his apron strings like a river out the door 

He handed me a bottle and said, son drink deep as you can 

He turned away then he turned right back with a hacksaw in his hand 
 
Gimme some of that Soldier’s Joy you know what I like 

Bear down on that fiddle boys just like Saturday night 
 
Gimme some of that Soldier’s Joy you know what I crave 

I’ll be hittin’ that Soldier’s Joy til I’m in my grave
