[Verse 1]
[D]He came home downcast that day
[F#m]The be[D]are[F#m]r of bad news[D]
She [Em]smiled at him as he came in,
as he stood [D]there [G]in [D]his [Asus4]muddy shoes
He loved [D]her so his poor heart cracked
[F#m]An d t[D]ell[F#m]ing what was told,
[D]her smi[F#m]le fro[Em]ze, her mouth went slack
And his grief [D]oppressed
him double [Asus4]fold
He said, I'm [D]not the master of my fate
As I [F#m]would wish [D]to be
But [Em]I'm leaving now and I can't be late
They [D]ship out tonight and they're
taking [Asus4]me[Dsus4]
[D]Our mission's still a mystery
I'm just [F#m]one of ma[D]ny me[F#m]n[D]
Who [F#m]must l[Em]eave their homes
and their families
And might not [D]pass this way [G]again
[Asus4][D][Asus4][D][Em][D]
She said, I'll come with you my love
I'm [F#m]not afraid nor we[D]ak
Now I will [Em]bind my breasts
and crop my hair
And I'll speak [D]low just [G]like a boy
[D]would [G]speak[Asus4]
But [D]you cannot come with me, my love
For they do [F#m]not take volu[D]nte[F#m]ers[D]
Oh, but [Em]there's one thing
to you I'll swear
Though I may [D]be gone for
many [Asus4]years
[D]No shirt shall ever touch my skin
[F#m]Nor a go through my ha[D]ir
And I'll [Em]think on the bit you're in
And I wish [D]that I were lying with [G]you, [D]dear
you
