[Verse 1]
[G]He was [D]just a blue -eyed [C]Boston boy
His voice was low with [G]pain
I'll [D]do your [C]bidding, comrade mine
If I write back [G]again
But if [D]you write back and [G]I am dead
You'll [D]do as much for me
My mother, you know, must [C]hear the news
So write to her ten[G]derly
She's [D]praying at home like a [C]waiting saint
Her fond face paved with [G]woe
Her [D]heart will be broken when [C]I am gone
I'll see her soon, I [G]know
Just [D]then the order [G]came to charge
For an [D]instant hand shook hands
They answered, I then [C]only wrote
That brave and devoted [G]man [D]guitar solo

[Verse 2]
Straight [D]was the course
to the [C]top of the hill
And the rebels did shot and [G]shell
Well out [D]barrels of death
in the [C]taunting racks
And guarded them as they [G]fell
There [D]soon was a horrible dy[G]ing yell
From [D]heights they could not gain
And those who'd doomed
and [C]death had spared
Grew slowly back [G]again
But [D]among the dead
that were [C]left on the field
Was the boy with the curly [G]hair
[D]The tall dark man who [C]fought by his side
lay dead beside him [G]there.
There were [D]none to write
to the [G]blue -eyed girl
the [D]words her lover had said.
While mother at home is
[C]waiting her boy,
she'll only know he's [G]dead.[D][C]
You
[G]
