 This is the story of Bobby and June.

Am           C                      C
 A boy and a girl who kidnapped the moon.

D                             C
 But they fell in love to the sounds of guns,

Am            C              C   Gsus4  C
 The year was Eighteen Sixty One.

Am             C                     C     Gsus4  C
 The army came looking for men to re-cruit.

Am                     C                      C      Gsus4
 Dressin' boys up like soldiers in blue Union suits.

D                                    C
 Take this sword and cut down Johnny Reb, they said.

Am                  C                         C    Gsus4  C
 You'll come back a hero, or you'll come back dead.

C             D                 C           D
 Stay with me Bobby; don't go a-way from me now.

           C            D                   C           D
I want you say that you love me; don't go a-way from me now.

  C           C
I want you to stay.

Am            C                         C     Gsus4  C
 Now Bobby he marched to the eye of the storm,

Am                   C                            C
 The blue coats were falling; the blood was still warm.

D                                        C
 A battle was raging, and the only thing in his eyes,

Am                      C                  Gsus4  C
 Was the thought of his June and making it home a-live.

Am            C                         C   Gsus4  C
 His army out-numbered; they started to run.

Am               C                        C   Gsus4
 When Bobby went down with the crack of a gun.

D                                     C
 And as he lay still his face sinking in the rain,

Am               C                    Gsus4       C
 He knew that he never and ever would see, June a-gain.

C             D                 C           D
 Stay with me Bobby; don't go a-way from me now.

           C            D                   C           D
I want you say that you love me; don't go a-way from me now.

  C           C
I want you to stay.

Am                     C                           C     Gsus4  C
 It was the morning of Christmas when June heard a sound,

Am             C                               C             Gsus4
 Of someone ap-proaching, their boots scraping on the ground.

D                                               C
 As she looked out the window her heart pounded in, her breast,

Am              C                     Gsus4   C
 A broken young Bobby was clutching a wounded chest.

Em
 She ran out to help ease his pain.

C
 He looked up and whispered her name.

Em                                            C
 Then she cradled his head in her arms and he smiled,

        D
When he heard his June say...

C             D                 C           D
 Stay with me Bobby; don't go a-way from me now.

           C            D                   C           D
I want you say that you love me; don't go a-way from me now.

  C           C
I want you to stay.

              C    Gsus4  C, C  Gsus4, C
I want you to stay.
