         F                C                Dm             Am
She was just another war nurse, she could strike a noble pose

         F          C             Dm               Am
Caring for our young boys when a bullet laid them low

        F                       C               Dm                          Am
She would hover over them and cry and pull the covers over them when they'd die

       F              C              G                  F
She was just another lonesome lady, lover, sister of the gun

And though France would call her darling she was a nurse 'neath the rising sun
F C G C [Verse]
      F                C           Dm        Am
She knew no hells or heavens, or harbors or havens

      F                     C                  Dm                           Am
She was every mother, sister, wife, and lover whose love a soldier boy was savin'

           F                                        C                                        G                            F
She believed in the birth of the broadsword but she was not a shielded one

         F                     C               G                     C
Though France would call her darling she was nurse 'neath the rising sun

          F                     C                  Dm           Am
She was a soldier's shrapnel sweetheart direct from the combat zone

            F                   C                       Dm                Am
She was a reincarnation of the Virgin Mary, she was the hooker down San Antone

        F                       C               G                   F
And though her heart was somewhere in Iceland commanding the dawn patrol

     F                          C                       F                   C
Blessed in this blood and stitched into these bones the war nurse left her soul

    F                           C                       F                   C
Blessed in this blood and stitched into these bones the war nurse left her soul
