Verse:
                        Chord diagramD MajorD
He was just a blue eyed Boston boy
              Chord diagramA augmentedA
His voice was low with pain
     Chord diagramE MajorE                       Chord diagramD MajorD
I'll do your bidding comrade mine
                Chord diagramA augmentedA
If I ride back again
       Chord diagramE MajorE                        Chord diagramA augmentedA
But if you ride on and I should fall
                      Chord diagramE MajorE
You'll do as much for me
          Chord diagramA augmentedA                    Chord diagramD MajorD
Mother at home is awaiting the news
             Chord diagramE MajorE     Chord diagramA augmentedA
So write her tenderly

Verse:
       Chord diagramE MajorE                      Chord diagramD MajorD
She is waiting at home like a patient saint
              Chord diagramA augmentedA
Her fond face pale with woe
    Chord diagramE MajorE                         Chord diagramD MajorD
Her heart will be broken when I am dead
                     Chord diagramA augmentedA
I'll see her face no more
     Chord diagramE MajorE              Chord diagramA augmentedA
Just then the order came to charge
                          Chord diagramE MajorE
For a moment hand touched hand
               Chord diagramA augmentedA                  Chord diagramD MajorD
They answered "Aye" and away they rode
     Chord diagramE MajorE                 Chord diagramA augmentedA
That brave and devoted band

Verse:
         Chord diagramE MajorE                         Chord diagramD MajorD
Straight way was the course to the top of the hill
                    Chord diagramA augmentedA
And the rebels with shot and shell
         Chord diagramE MajorE                            Chord diagramD MajorD
Ploughed furrows of death through the toiling ranks
                         Chord diagramA augmentedA
And guarded them as they fell
      Chord diagramE MajorE                    Chord diagramA augmentedA
There soon came a horrible dying sound
                                Chord diagramE MajorE
From the heights they could not gain
    Chord diagramA augmentedA                   Chord diagramD MajorD
And those that doom and death had spared
     Chord diagramE MajorE            Chord diagramA augmentedA
Rode slowly back again

Verse:
     Chord diagramE MajorE                    Chord diagramD MajorD
But among the dead at the top of the hill
        Chord diagramA augmentedA
Was the boy with the golden hair
        Chord diagramE MajorE                  Chord diagramD MajorD
And the tall dark man that rode by his side
                     Chord diagramA augmentedA
Lay still beside him there
          Chord diagramE MajorE                      Chord diagramA augmentedA
There was no one to write to his blue-eyed girl
                             Chord diagramE MajorE
The words that her lover had said
    Chord diagramA augmentedA                  Chord diagramD MajorD
And mother at home is awaiting the news
       Chord diagramE MajorE              Chord diagramA augmentedA
She'll only find he's dead
      Chord diagramA augmentedA                  Chord diagramD MajorD
While mother at home is awaiting the news
       Chord diagramE MajorE              Chord diagramA augmentedA
She'll only find he's dead
