[D]
Then one [A] day my [B]
father [F#m] died, [B] I buried him [A]
alone,

Tomorrow I'll be [C#m] gone.
[A] I'm a brave, [B] oh brave little [C#m] girl, [Bm] I'm young and I'll get [A] on.

sleep you now, [F#m] rest you [A] now.
Tomorrow he'll be [C#m]
gone.

[D] but by [A] then I'll be [Bm] too [F#m]
well trained [B] in the game [E] I've learned [A] to play.
