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

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