[INTRO]
C G G C
[Verse 1]
G D G C
Now I will tell you buster, that I ain't a fan of Custer
G C D
And the General he don't ride well anymore
G D G C
To some he was a hero, but to me his score was zero
G D G
And the General he don't ride well anymore
[Verse 2]
G D G C
Now Custer done his fightin', without too much excitin'
G C D
And the General he don't ride well anymore
G D G C
General Custer come in pumpin', when the men were out a huntin'
G D G
But the General he don't ride well anymore
[Verse 3]
G D G C
With victories he was swimmin', he killed children, dogs and women
G C D
But the General he don't ride well anymore
G D G C
Crazy Horse sent out the call, to Sitting Bull and Gall
G D G
And the General he don't ride well anymore
[Verse 4]
G D G C
Now Custer split his men, well he won't do that again
G C D
Cause the General he don't ride well anymore
G D G C
Twelve thousand warriors waited, they were unanticipated
G D G
And the General he don't ride well anymore
[Verse 5]
G D G C
It's not called an Indian victory, but a bloody massacree
G C D
And the General he don't ride well anymore
G D G C
There might have been more enthusin', if us Indians had been losin'
G D G
But the General he don't ride well anymore
[Verse 6]
G D G C
General George A. Custer, oh his yellow hair had lustre
G C D
But the General he don't ride well anymore
G D G C
For now the General's silent, he got barbered violent
G D G
And the General he don't ride well anymore
[Outro]
G D G
Oh the General he don't ride well anymore
