now, I'm
out here under guard tonight
G

I wear the ball and chain
D

And I was thinkin' 'bout you then,
Oh, the cannonballs, the bayonets
G
D
The bloody battle cry
Oh, there's nothin' but
me on the wire
D

And I was thinkin' of you then,

For all to see

But now outside there is a firing squad
And now they're servin'
Oh, my Rose Marie

That had proudly wore the gray
Finally made it back here

Now years have passed, I'm still alone

No new one to desire
G

And a face there in the fire
