Verse 1
(D major) (A major) (D major) He wore the grain (A major)
of the (D major) Southland
back (G major) in sixty -t (D major) wo.
She (G major) was a girl of (D major) the north,
and they (E major) met like lovers will do. (A major)
In (D major) her (A major) eyes was a (D major) promise sweet
for (G major) this lonely boy. (D major)
An (G major) d he sang this (D major) little song
to (A major) change their fear to joy. (D major)
(G major) Yankee girl, oh, (D major) Yankee girl,
(A major) you'll go home with me (D major)
When (G major) this cruel war (D major) is done,
(A major) you'll go home with (D major) me.
But this poor (A major) lad
who (D major) wore the grain
back (G major) in sixty -t (D major) wo
Would (G major) never live to go (D major) back home
Or (E major) claim his love so true (A major)
As (D major) his blood (A major) stained the (D major) stranger's land
He (G major) would never know
(D major) The (G major) Yankee girl would
(D major) watch and wait
because (A major) she loved him (D major) so.
(G major) Yankee girl, oh, (D major) Yankee girl,
you'll (A major) go home with me. (D major)
When this (G major) cruel war (D major) is done,
(A major) you'll go home with (D major) me.
