Intro: 

Cadd9


Verse:

Cadd9 
soldier: they settled dust in your hair
Cadd9
to watch you shake and shout it out.
Cadd9
with our armaments bared
Cadd9  
we shed our bags and travel alls.


Cadd9 
from the lee of the wall
Cadd9
he comes in the chang and the chariot
Cadd9 
and all his eunuchs in thrall
Cadd9   
can scarce lift his line and lariat.


Chorus:
B
here com loose his hounds
A         
to blow me down. 
                         E
chorus of waifs: blow me down.　   
B                  
soldier: on this stretch of ground
A         
i'll lay me down.
                  G#
chorus of waifs: lay me down.
            F#
soldier: to sleep.


Interlude:  Cadd9


Verse:

          Cadd9                
chaplain: and now stricken with pangs
     Cadd9 
that tear at our backs like thistle down
Cadd9
the mirror's soft silver tain
Cadd9  
reflects our last and birthing hour


Chorus:
         B
soldier: here come loose his hounds
A
to blow me down.
                         E
chorus of waifs: blow me down.
         B
soldier: on this stretch of ground
A
i'll lay me down.
                    G#
chorus of waifs: lay me down.
           F#
