Two Soldiers by Julie Miller
Two Soldiers
Capo:no capo
C F C
C G F
He was just a blue-eyed Boston boy
C
His voice was low with pain
G F
I'll do your bidding comrade mine
C
If I ride back again
G C
But if you ride back and I am left
G
You'll do as much for me
C F
Mother you know must hear the news
C G C F C
So write to her tenderly
G F
She's waiting at home like a patient saint
C
Her fond face pale with woe
G F
Her heart will be broken when I am gone
C
I'll see her soon I know
G C
Just then the order came to charge
G
For an instance hand touched hand
G F
They said aye and away they rode
C G C F C G C F C
That brave and devoted band
G F
Straight was the track to the top of the hill
C
The rebels they shot and shelled
G C
Plowed furrows of death
F
Through the toiling ranks
C
And guarded them as they fell
G C
There soon came a horrible dying yell
G
>From heights that they could not gain
C F
And those who doom and death had spared
C G C F C G C F C
Rode slowly back again
G F
But among the dead that were left on the hill
C
Was the boy with the curly hair
G F
The tall dark man who rode by his side
C
Lay dead beside him there
G C
There's no one to write to the blue-eyed girl
G
The words that her lover had said
C F
Momma you know awaits the news
F C
And she'll only know he's dead
