[Verse]
  E              B
A mist halos the meadow
      E                    B                   F#
And a soft wind breathes a whisper through the trees
     E              B
As I lean against a hickory
  E                 B            F#
I close my eyes and I can almost see
    G#m               F#
The ghostly forms of blue and gray
B                                 E
And I can almost hear the cannons blast
C#m              F#               B
Standin' in the presence of the past

    E                    B
The first few waves came cheerin'
E                B                     F#
Fear and hatered runnin' through their blood
         E               B
When the day was finally over
      E                B                 F#
Those left were wadin' through a crimson flood
   G#m               F#
To think I could be right here
       B                                          E
In the spot where some young soldier breathed his last
C#m              F#               B
Standin' in the presence of the past

E                B
Brother fightin; brother
E               B
Father fightin' son
       E                B
By the time the sun was settin'
       G#m                 B
Looked like the South had won
       E                 B
Now my mouth's as dry as cotton
       E                G#m
And my heart is beatin' fast
C#m              F#               B
Standin' in the presence of the past

B       E                 B
Sunrise caught the rebels sleepin'
         E              B            F#
And they woke to hear a Yankee bugle blow
        E               B
Bullets flew like angry hornets
         E                   B                 F#
Till the peach tree blossoms drifted down like snow
G#m                     F#
It must have been like hell on earth
B                                      E
What happened here is more than we can grasp
C#m              F#               B
Standin' in the presence of the past

E                B
Brother fightin' brother
E               B
Father fightin' son
       E                  B
By the time the smoke had lifted
     G#m                 B
They knew the North had won
E                  B
Lord my soul feels empty
      E                  G#m
As my tears fall on this grass
C#m              F#               B
Standin' in the presence of the past

E               B
Brother killin' brother
E              B
Father slayin' son
         E                 B
From the looks of this old graveyard
     G#m            B
Hell nobody really won
E                  B
Somethins' changed inside me
   E               G#m
It sure can happen fast
C#m              F#               B
Standin' in the presence of the past

  E              B
A mist halos the meadow
      E                    B                   F#
And a soft wind breathes a whisper through the trees
