Intro: Dm /E F6 /G A7

Dm             /E F        /G    Bb  
There's a cottage in the village in the country

A7                 Dm   /Eb 
I have learned to love

Dm             /E   F        
And every night the curfew rings 

/G  Bb                A7                 Dm
And people sing their prayers to heaven above

C                    F6       
In the cottage there lives a girl

      G          Bb       
Who's crying for she can see

C                  F6
Soldiers marching away to war

        G           Bb  A7   
They're fighting to be free

Chorus:

D               A7              G
Maria Elena I'm going away to war

    F                C                G    G7  
I'm going to fight I may not be back again

D             A7         G
Maria Elena I love you forever more

       F                       C                G
Please say it's alright you'll stay by my side 'till dawn

I remember moonlit nights And dancing in the streets 'till break of day Yes I remember how it was No one would separate us come what may Like a dream it dissolves away And morning will soon be here Revolution has come our way I'm warning you now dear Chorus (2X fading on 2nd) by: José Duarte [email protected]
