[G][D][G][F][Eb][D][G][Csus4][C][G]

[Verse 1]
[D]Oh,
[G]let's not think of to[F]morrow, lest we [Eb]disappoin[D] ted be.
[G]Our joys may tur[C]n to sorrow[G],
[D]as we [G]all may daily [F]see
[D]Today we [G]may[C] be str[G]ong and hea[D]lthy,
but [G]soon there comes a [F]change
[D]As we [G]may see from the ex[F]plosion that has [Eb]been
a [D]trimmed -and [G]-drained[Csus4][C][G][D]
Men and [G]boys left home that [F]morning
For to [Eb]earn their [D]daily [G]bread
None thought [C]before the even[G]ing
[D]They'd be [G]numbered with the [F]dead
[D]Let's [G]think of
[C]Mrs.
Bur[G]net
Once [D]had [G]sons but now has [F]none
[D]By the [G]trim and grange explo[F]sion
Joseph
[Eb]George and
[D]James are [G]gone

[Verse 2]
February [G]has left be[F]hind it what
will [Eb]never [D]be forgot[G]ten
Weeping widows,
[C]helpless chil[G]dren [D]may be [G]found in many a [F]corner
[D]They [G]ask if [C]father's left [G]them
[D]An d their [G]mother hangs her [F]head
[D]With the [G]weeping widow's [F]feelings
Tells the [Eb]child its [D]father's
[G]dead[Csus4][C][Bm][E]
God pro[A]tect the lonely [G]widow
And [F]raise each [E]droop[A]ing head
Be [E]a f[A]ather t[D]o the o[A]rphans,
[E]never [A]let them cry for [G]bread
[E]Never [A]pay us [D]all a vis[A]it,
[E]they have [A]only gone before
[G]And w[E]e'll meet[A] the trembling vic
[G]tims where ex[F]plosions [E]are no [A]more
La la la [D]la la la [A]la
