_ _ _ _ [E] Down by yon green bushes, [C#m] [E] near _ Calder's clear [A] stream,
[E] _ _ [A] Where me and my [E] Annie [A] so [E] often [B] have been.
_ _ _ [C#m] When the [A] hours that flew [E] past [A] us, [E] bright happy [B] [A] were we,
_ _ [C#m] [E] It was little, she [C#m] thought, that [E] a soldier I'd [A] be,
[E] _ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
_ _ _ [E] But it's farewell [A] to Annie, [E] and I must away,
_ _ _ For [A] the King he [E] needs soldiers, [A] I [B] must away.
_ But [C#m] if Providence [B] prove kind [E] love [A] [E] until [B] I [A] return, _
_ _ [C#m] [E] I will wed [A] with my Annie [E] near _ _ Calder's clear burn.

_ _ _ On [E] the fourteenth of August our regiment was lost,
_ _ [A] And a ball from [E] the enemy [A] our lines came [B] _
across,
_ _ [C#m] Oh, it struck [A] me [E] in the temple, and [E] the blood [B] [A] trickled down.
_ _ _ [E] I kneeled and I [A] [E] staggered, and I fell to the ground. _
_ [C#m] _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _
_ _ [E] Come here, says our captain, [A] come [E] here [A] with [E] good speed,
_ For [A] I fear by _ [E] this bullet [A] young _ [E] [B] Finsmore lies dead. _
_ _ [C#m] Two men [A] [E] with a stretcher [A] did [E] quickly [B] _ [A] prepare,
And _ [E] they carried me [A] away to [E] a hospital bed. _ _

_ Cold water _ and [A] brandy [E] they poured out so clean, _
_ [A] They turned me [E] all over, [A] my wounds [E] for [B] to see. _ _
But [C#m] if I [B] had my Annie [A] to [E] bind up my [A] wounds,
[E] _
_ _ One kiss from her sweet [A] lips [E] would soon [F#m] be [A] dead.

[F#m] _ [E] _ _
_ [A] When I was [E] a miner [A] and [E] wrought in [B] the mine, _ _ _
[E] Oh, the [A] tears they [B] do [E] trickle [A] and [E] [B] can they [A] do fall,
_ [E] _
_ [B] Like [E] roses that [A] bloom [E] around a [A] bonny [E] wood hall.
