Version 1[Verse] D Candy took me down D Candy took me down G Down to her cellar G Gm Down to her cellar D We sat in candle light D Drinkin her father's wine G Sheltered in darkness G Cold earth around us A That's when the Union came Bm G In veils of stormy rain [Verse] D We talked about her pa D How she watched him in awe G Preachin the gospel G Gm She was delightful D We heard the thunder fall D Damn near break down these walls G The bottles ringin G Us two just sittin A Outside the cannonballs Bm G Came screamin through the squall [Verse] D She took to cryin then D I watched the candle dim G And curl and shudder G Gm Afraid to touch her D And as the flame went dead D Dear God, I felt her head G Rest tired upon me G Just breathin softly A Outside the city burned Bm G Lord, it was hell on Earth [Verse] D As darkness swept aside D That breathless candelight G I felt her breathin G And I started singin [Chorus] D Soldiers they will come, D And soldiers they will go D The war may lay the lot of us Bm In rows of granite stone Bm And if I join the cavalry D G And perish far from home, D A D A life as sweet as candy I may never live to know [Instrumental] D D Bm Bm D G D A D (same rhythm as chorus) [Chorus] D The cities they will burn, D And families will crack D The hate that drove us from our homes Bm Will drag the living back Bm And limping from the darkness D G With our hatred in our tracks, D A D A long and lonely shadow there can never be undone [Chorus] D But Candy is asleep, D In darkness and in peace D Bm And my heart fills the silence with its happy little [Instrumental] Bm D G G D A D Bm D Em G x3
