Verse:
 D MajorD         A minorAm      C majorC           G+G
There are two young lovers, they're pledged to each other's hands,
 D MajorD       A minorAm     C majorC          G+G
They meet by the river, to talk of their marriage plans.
 D MajorD        A minorAm    C majorC         G+G
“I'm confessing,” he said, “I've signed for a soldier,
 D MajorD       A minorAm     C majorC
I'm leaving tomorrow for some foreign land.”

Chorus:
FF        G+G      D MajorD
She watches the pretty young soldiers,
FF        G+G      D MajorD
As they march themselves off to the war.
FF        G+G      D MajorD
She wonders if she'll ever see him again,
FF        G+G      A augmentedA
Somehow she doubts it, but she has to be sure.

Verse:
D MajorD      A minorAm    C majorC         G+G
So she rode into town on the very next day,
D MajorD      A minorAm    C majorC         G+G
And dressed herself up all in man's array.
D MajorD        A minorAm    C majorC         G+G
With a sword and a musket she took the King's shilling,
D MajorD          A minorAm
And to fight in some foreign war,
     C majorC
She said, “Yes!,” she'd be willing.

Chorus:
FF    G+G      D MajorD
All you pretty young soldiers,
FF        G+G      D MajorD
In those uniforms that you've never worn.
FF        G+G      D MajorD
The Captain will come to inspect you all now,
FF         G+G         A augmentedA
“Let me down and you'll all wish you'd never been born.”

Verse:
D MajorD      A minorAm    C majorC         G+G
The Captain astride of his horse's grey flanks,
D MajorD        A minorAm      C majorC         G+G
Pulls the pretty young soldier from out of the ranks.
D MajorD      A minorAm      C majorC         G+G
His gaze it is fixed and she's starting to shake,
D MajorD              C majorC                G+G
He said, “Follow me soldier and listen to the offer that I'm willing to make.”

Chorus:
FF    G+G       D MajorD
“Come you pretty young soldier,
FF    G+G      D MajorD
Come and be my right hand.
FF         G+G         D MajorD
You're having this strange effect on my soul,
FF      G+G      A augmentedA
That I don't quite understand.”

Bridge:
D MajorD              A minorAm
“Captain, oh Captain, I've a confession to make,
C majorC             G+G
I love someone else and my heart it will break.”
D MajorD               A minorAm
And as she released her brown hair from a band,
C majorC                 G+G
It tumbled all down her shoulders and into his hands.

Chorus:
FF    G+G      D MajorD
“Oh you pretty young soldier,
FF    G+G       D MajorD
Come and take my right hand.
FF         G+G         D MajorD
You're having this strange effect on my soul,
G+G           D MajorD
And now I think, I understand.”
