[Verse 1]
---------------------
            Bb                       F
There was a decorated General with a heart of gold
     Cm                     Gm
That likened him to all the stories he told
Eb                        Bb
  Of past battles won and lost and legends of old
F
 A seasoned veteran in his own time
       Bb                       F
On the battlefield he gained respect for fame
     Cm                         Gm
With many metals of bravery and stripes to his name
   Eb                                  Bb
He grew a beard as soon as he could to cover the scars on his face
F
 And always urged his men on
           Bb                             F
But on the eve of great battle with the infantry and dream
        Cm                          Gm
The old general tossed in his sleep and wrestled with its meaning
   Eb                       Bb
He awoke from that night to tell what he had seen
F
 And walked slowly out of his tent
        Bb                       F
All the men held tall with their chests in the air
         Cm                           Gm
With the courage in their blood and a fire in their stare
          Eb                        Bb
And it was  a gray morning and they all wondered how they would fair
F
 Till the old general told them to go home
He said

[Pre-Chorus]
---------------------
Bb       F              Cm     Gm
  I have seen the others  And I
          Eb
have discovered
          Bb                 F
That this fight is not worth fighting
Bb              F            Cm         Gm
  And I've have seen their mothers And I
             Eb      Bb
will no other  To fol
                 F
low me where I'm going

[Chorus (1)]
---------------------
   Bb             F                     Cm       Gm
So,  take your shower , shine your shoes  You got
       Eb                     Bb
no time  to lose You are young
                    F
men, you must be living
Bb            F
So, take your shower , shine your shoes
Cm      Gm      Eb
You got no time to lose
              Bb                  F
You are young men, you must be living
                     Gm
Go now, you are forgiven

[Verse 2]
---------------------
F Gm F        Bb                        F
      But the men stood fast with their guns on their shoulders
Cm                          Gm
Not knowing what to do with the contradicting orders
Eb                                        Bb                               F
The general said he would do his own duty but he would extend it no further
The men could go as they pleased
          Bb                    F
But not a man moved, their eyes gazed straight ahead
        Cm                         Gm
Till one  by one they stepped back and not a word was said
        Eb                               Bb
And the old general was left with his own  words echoing in his head
F
 He then prepared to fight
He said



[Chorus (2)]
---------------------
   Bb             F                     Cm       Gm
So,  take your shower , shine your shoes  You got
       Eb                     Bb
no time  to lose You are young
                    F
men, you must be living
   Bb             F                     Cm       Gm
So,  take your shower , shine your shoes  You got
       Eb                     Bb
no time  to lose You are young
                    F
men, you must be living
                     Gm F Gm F
Go now, you are forgiven
