Am I found your picture in a corporal's pocket Gadd9 His cold fingers still pressed it to his chest Bm Sniper's bullet took his eyes and his breath away F Now he lies out in the forest with the rest Am You looked shy in your grandmother's wedding dress Gadd9 Feet set wide like a farm girl stands Bm Too young to love and too young to lose F In a cracked picture frame in a dead man's hands Dm I kept it with me for the luck, for the magic Am Maybe fate wouldn't strike in the same place twice Em But something stirred and I dared to dream of you Bb And I knew I'd look for you if I should survive Am When we stood down at last it was easy to find you Gadd9 Mine was the shoulder you cried on that day Bm Just an old comrade doing his duty F Bringing the news from the Woods of Darney C When I showed you the picture perhaps I felt jealousy Gadd9 As your tears welled up with each reminisce Dm And my hands may be rougher and my tongue may be coarser Am But I knew I could give you a love good as his (bridge is F G F G F Dm) Am Now we lie in the darkness together Gadd9 Often we lie without speaking this way Bm As you stare in the dark do you see your young corporal F Who never came back from the Woods of Darney Am Is it him that you see when we make love together Gadd9 Is it him that you see when war fills the sky Bm Was he there as you stood in your grandmother's wedding dress F As we made our own vows, you and I Dm Now the bugle calls, they say this is the big one Am A curse on the life of a soldier you say Em But don't you know that's a soldier's small comfort Bb For the bugle to sound, and to hear and obey Am And I'll carry your picture the one that he carried Gadd9 I'll wear your innocence and take my chance Bm On a frozen field, in a far-flung war F To win back what we lost in a field in France Am And it's many a soldier who goes into battle Gadd9 Your corporal and I, we just hear and obey Bm Perhaps we'll lie in the darkness together F With your love to bind us, in the Woods of Darney. ------------------------------ ADDITIONAL TRANSCRIPTION NOTES FROM MARSHALL FLEISHER ----------------------------- ADDITIONAL TRANSCRIPTION NOTES FROM Noam Newman Woods of Darney - --------------- Cm Gm7 Dm Ab Cm X2 Fm Cm Gm Db Cm Eb Bb Fm Cm Ab Bb Ab X2 (violin link) Ab Fm Writing it down like that looks pretty incomprehensible, but the songs are rhythymically simple: one chord every four bars in Darney,
