The most haunting tune I know from the civil war. It captures Amanda Blaine as the essence of the tragedy and terror of the Battle of Shiloh April 6-7, 1862. There were 23,764 casualities. From the singing of Judy Collins and Bobby Bare. Have you seen Amanda Blaine in the Hills of Shiloh Wandering through the morning rain through the hills of Shiloh Have you seen her at her door, listening for the cannon's roar And a man who went to war from the hills of Shiloh. Have you heard her mournful cries in the hills of Shiloh Have you seen her haunted eyes in the hills of Shiloh Have you seen her running down searching through the sleeping town In her yellowed wedding gown in the hills of Shiloh Have you seen her standing there in the hills of Shiloh Wind a blowing through her hair in the hills of Shiloh Listening for the sound of guns, listening for the rolling drums And a man who never comes to the hills of Shiloh Have you heard Amanda sing in the hills of Shiloh Whispering to her wedding ring in the hills of Shiloh Hear her humming soft and low, poor Amanda does not know Twas ended forty years ago in the hills of Shiloh X:1 T:In the Hills of Shiloh C:Shel Silverstein M:4/4 Q:1/4=125 L:1/4 Z:Jackie Fritts K:A Minor "Am"CEGG|"D"^FD"Am"E2|"Em7"DE"Am"CA,|"G"G,"Am"A,3| w:Have your seen A- man-da Blaine in the hills of Shi-loh?

Thanks Jackie. I have moved this into the main database, as you will see with the extra tab above this thread. | ||

I too love this song. Would someone be able to tell me if Judy Collins begins the song on middle C? I would like to sing it but don't want to start too high or low when I sing it a capela. Also does anyone know where she begins "The Dove"? Thank you so much, Barbara | ||
