[Intro] A D G D X 2 A D A A D G D [Verse 1]
       A                D      G
He was just a blue-eyed Boston boy

                       D
His voice was low with pain.

     A               D       G
I'll do your bidding comrade mine,

                 D
If I ride back again.

       A                 D
But if you ride back and I am left

       A
You'll do as much for me.

A                     D        G
Mother you know, must hear the news

                     D
So write to her tenderly.
[Break] A D G D
      A                      D       G
She's waiting at home like a patient saint

                        D
Her fond face pale with woe.

    A                         D     G
Her heart will be broken when I am gone

                     D
I'll see her soon, I know

     A              D
Just then the order came to charge

       A
For an instant hand touched hand

A                     D        G
They said "Aye" and away they rode

                       D
That brave and devoted band.
[Break] A D G D [Verse 3]
A                             D          G
Straight was the track to the top of the hill

                         D
The rebels they shot and shelled.

        A                           D        G
Plowed furrows of death through the toilling ranks

                         D
And guarded them as they fell

      A                    D
There soon came a horrible dying yell

     A
From heights that they could not gain

A                       D          G
And those that doom and death had spared

                  D
Rode slowly back again.
[Break] A D G D [Verse 4]
     A                       D          G
But among the dead that were left on the hill

                           D
Was the boy with the curly hair

    A                  D           G
The tall dark man that rode by his side

                    D
Lay dead beside him there

        A                      D
There's no one to write to the blue-eyed girl

    A
The words that her lover had said

A                  D        G
Momma, you know, awaits the news

                          D
And she'll only know he's dead.
[Outro] A D G D X 2 A D A A D G D
