Verse 1:
A augmentedA E MajorE
When the papers came to Camden
F# minorF#m
All the boys took up the call
D MajorD E MajorE
Gathered good luck in their rucksacks
F# minorF#m A augmentedA
Took to leaving with the fall
F# minorF#m E MajorE
And they took with them their tokens
A augmentedA DmDm
And they took with them their guns
A augmentedA F# minorF#m
Gripping charms of their young lovers
DmDm A augmentedA
But there were no lucky ones

A augmentedA E MajorE
She sat waiting on her wicker
F# minorF#m
Watching every day till dusk
D MajorD E MajorE
Until again the air grew thicker
F# minorF#m A augmentedA
And she had withered to a husk
F# minorF#m E MajorE
And she started to feel broken
A augmentedA DmDm
And she finally felt alone
A augmentedA F# minorF#m
Because the house whose porch she watched from
DmDm A augmentedA
Had long ceased to be her home

Now she lives in someone's locket
F# minorF#m
Sheltered in a brass-clad room

Another picture in a pocket

With a puff of sweet perfume
D MajorD E MajorE
She sent her heart across the ocean

For to keep him safe from harm

Cut her face out of a picture
DmDm A augmentedA
Said "I'll be your good luck charm"

Then the calls came from the general
F# minorF#m
Must've been most every day
D MajorD E MajorE
Another boy whose travels ended
F# minorF#m A augmentedA
On a shore a world away
F# minorF#m E MajorE
But when she offered god devotion

The army offered her a flag
A augmentedA F# minorF#m
And the deepest of condolence
DmDm A augmentedA
From the boys down at Fort Bragg

Now she lives in someone's locket

Verse 4:
A augmentedA E MajorE
And if you wander through the graveyard
F# minorF#m
On your way through Camden town
D MajorD E MajorE
There are many headstone markers
F# minorF#m A augmentedA
Where they've laid a body down
F# minorF#m E MajorE
Though her grave it bears no etching

Know her spirit is at rest

For it's finally made it's way back
DmDm A augmentedA
To the home that she loved best
