D g c d

Oh I marched to the battle of new orleans

G c d

At the end of the early british war

G c

The young land started growing

The young blood started flowing

C am d

But I aint marchin anymore

For Ive killed my share of indians

In a thousand different fights

I was there at the little big horn

I heard many men lying

I saw many more dying

But I aint marchin anymore

C g

Its always the old to lead us to the war

C am d

Its always the young to fall

Now look at all weve won with the sabre and the gun

Tell me is it worth it all

For I stole california from the mexican land

Fought in the bloody civil war

Yes I even killed my brother

And so many others

And I aint marchin anymore

For I marched to the battles of the german trench

In a war that was bound to end all wars

Oh I must have killed a million men

And now they want me back again

But I aint marchin anymore

(chorus)

For I flew the final mission in the japanese sky

Set off the mighty mushroom roar

When I saw the cities burning

I knew that I was learning

That I aint marchin anymore

Now the labor leaders screamin when they close the missile plants,

United fruit screams at the cuban shore,

Call it peace or call it treason,

Call it love or call it reason,

But I aint marchin any more.

There seems to be a variety of opinions about the chords for this song. since I am not able to judge which is right, I will simply present all of them.

The first set of chords were provided by dave miller:
