[N] [Ab] [Ebm] [Ab]
[Db] The night was icy cold, I was [Eb] alone, [Ab] waiting for an army patrol.
[Db]
And then at last they came within my [Ebm] sight, [Ab] I squeezed the trigger of my arm [Db] line.
Oh mama, oh mama, comfort [Ebm]
me, [Ab] for I know these awful things have [Db] had to be.
And when the war of freedom has [Ebm] been won, [Ab] I promise you I'll put away [Db] my gun.
The shots rang out, I heard a [Ebm] soldier cry, [Ab] please don't leave me here alone [Db] to die.
I realized his patrol had [Eb] gone away, [Ab] and left their wounded comrade for [Db] me to slay.
Oh mama, oh mama, [Ebm] comfort me, [Ab] for I know these awful things have had [Db] to be.
And when the war of freedom has been [Ebm] won, [Ab] I promise you I'll put away [Db] my gun.
There's nothing in this world I would not [Ebm]
give, [Ab] if mercy in your heart you let me [Db] live.
For in his eyes I saw a [Eb] begging flame, [Ab] as the muzzle of my gun moved [Db] towards his brain.
Oh mama, oh mama, [Ebm] comfort me, [Ab] for I know these awful things have [Db] had to be.
And when the war of freedom has [Ebm] been won, [Ab] I promise you I'll put away [Db] my gun.
The dawning of breaking when I reached [Ebm] my base, [Ab] I can't forget the look on that [Db] boy's face.
Fear, agony, torment were [Eb] all there, [Ab] but to your memory, mama, his life [Db] I spare.
Oh mama, oh mama, [Ebm] comfort me, for [Ab] I know these awful things have [Db] had to be.
And when the war of freedom [Ebm] has been won,
[Ab] I promise you I'll put away my gun.
