Verse 2
G 
She's
C 
F 
a- waiting at home like a patient saint
C 
her fallen face paled with woe
G 
Her heart would be broken
C

C 
Just then the order came to charge
G 
for an instant hand touched hand
C 
F 
They sayed "aye" and away they rode
C 
that brave and devoted band

Verse 3
C 
G 
Straight was the course to
C 
F 
the top of the hill
C 
G 
and the rebels they shot and shelled
Plowed furroughs of death
C 
F 
through the toiling ranks
C 
and guarded them as they fell
G 
C 
There soon was a  horrible dying yell
G 
from heights that they could not gain
And those who doom and
C 
F 
death had spared
C 
rode slowly back again

Verse 4
C 
G 
But among the dead that
C 
F 
were left on the hill
C 
was the boy with curly hair
G 
C 
F 
The tall dark man who fought by his side
C 
Lay dead beside him there
F 
G 
Well there was was no one to
C 
write to the blue- eyed girl
G 
the words that her lover had said
While mother at home
C 
G 
F 
is awaiting her boy
C 
She'll only know he's dead
F 
C 
She'll only know he's dead
