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]

(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]
