_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ You'll walk unscathed through musket fire
_ _ No plowman's blade will cut thee down _
No cutlass wound will mar thy face
_ And you will be my own true love _
And you will be my own true _ love
_ _ And as you walk through death's dark vale
[Cm] The [G] cannon's thunder _ [C] can't prevail
_ _ And those who haunt thee [F] down [C] will fail _ _
And you will be my own true _ love
_ [Cm] And you will be my [Fm] own true [C] love _ _
_ _ Asleep [G#] inside the _
[G] cannon's mouth
_ The captain cries, here comes [C] the rout _
_ _ They'll seek [G] to bind [G#] me north [C] and south
_ _ I've gone to find my own true love
_ _ The [Cm] field is cut and bleached [C] to [Cm] red
_ The cannonballs [G] fly round my [Cm] _
head
The infirmary [G] men may count me [C] dead
But I've gone to [G] find my own [C] true love
I've _ gone [Cm] to find [Fm] my own true _ [Cm] _ love _

_ _ _ _ _ Will I recall his parting words?
Must I accept [E] his fate?
[F#] Or take [B] myself [E] far from [F#] this place?
I [B] thought I heard a black bell toll
A little bird [E] did sing
[F#] Man has [B] no choice [E] when he wants [B] everything _ _ _ _ _
We'll rise [F#] above _ the [B] scarlet tide
That trickles [C#] down through the [E] _ mountain
[F#] And [B] separates [E] the [F#] widow [B] from the bride
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Man goes beyond his own decision
Gets caught up in the _ [E] mechanism [F#] of _ [B] swindlers
[E] Who act [F#] like kings and [B] brokers who break [F#] everything
_ The [B] dark of night was swiftly fading
Close to the dawn [E] of day
[F#] Why [B] would I want him [F#] just to [B] lose him again?
_ _ _ _ We'll rise [F#]
above the [B] scarlet tide
That trickles down through [D#] _ [E] the mountain
And [B] separates _ [E] the [F#] widow [B] from the bride _ _ _ _
We'll rise [F#] above the [B] scarlet tide
That trickles [C#] down [B] through [E] the mountain
[F#] And [B] separates _ [E] the [F#] widow from [B] the bride _
