              G     G(F#) Em     D
Intro - Never leave on    your own
                     G     G(F#)           A
Verse - Where you're from and where you're goin'
        Em                       G                  D    Em  0 1 2 1 0 (E str)
        I know these things like I know you hate me now
                  D                        G           G(F#)      A
        Catch yourself in midair thinking your dreams can never be bought
        Em                      G                     D   Em
        I couldn't help then I guess I can't help you now

continue with next verse

        When jousting is for pleasure and pleasure is way out of hand
        The time is right for getting out while we still can  (C chord here)

chorus
        F                   C
        Chickamauga's where I've been
        G                     C
        Solitude is where I'm bound
                F            C          x20010  Am     G
        I don't ever want to taste those tears again
                F            C          x20010  Am     G    F
        I don't ever want to taste those tears again

Then back to the verse starting on D. The G(F#) means play a G chord
with a F# in the bass (low E string). Just walk it down. Same type of
thing on the chorus with the C chord into the x20010 chord. Just
move your finger a half step down on the A string. The 01210 after the
Em on the verses is just a little run on the low E string.

No Picture Dr. Jack Average	#1 by Dr. Jack at Mar 9, 1977 at 8:43 AM EST
	I thought that the lyric was "when Charleston is for pleasure and pleasure is way out of hand..." I know that Jay Farrar has used atleast one other Civil War reference in Son Volt's "Strand" with the line - "Like grapeshot - fine spray"...grapeshot was the ammunition used by soldiers.

No Picture Green Day rocks Average	#2 by Green Day rocks!!!! at Jul 23, 1987 at 10:40 PM EST
	This song is about a civil war battle, at chickamauga, thought by some to be the bloodiest of the war. Jay Farrar probably wrote it after reading a story by Ambrose Bierce about the battle, of the same title. In the story, a young child out wandering at night stumbles upon a battlefield littered with grotesquely mangled bodies, some still moving and alive, left behind after the battle. Its a story that everyone should read, and isn't hard to find on the internet.
