Rebel Waltz

G Em Bm i slept and i dreamed of a time long ago G Em Am D i saw an army of rebels , dancing on air G C Bm i dreamed as i slept , i could see the campfires , Bm Em Bm Em a song of the battle , that was born in the flames , Bm D G and the rebels were waltzing on air . i danced with a girl to the tune of a waltz that was written to be danced on the battlefield i danced to the song of a voice of a girl a voice that called "stand till we fall we stand till all the boys fall . " as we danced came the news that the war was not won 5 armies were coming , with carrige and gun through the heart of the camp swept the news from the front a cloud crossed the moon , a child cried for food we knew the war could not be won . so we danced with a rifle , to the rhythm of the gun in a glade through the trees i saw my only one then the earth seemed to rise hell hot as the sun the soldiers were dying , there was tune to the sighing . the song was an old rebel one . as the smoke of our hopes rose high from the field my eyes played tricks through the moon and the trees i slept as i dreamed i saw the army rise a voice began to call , stand till you fall the tune was an old rebel one .
