_ The night was icy cold, I [Am] was _ _ alone, _
_ _ [D] waiting for an army _ [G] patrol. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Then at last they came within [Am] my sight, _ _ _ _ [D] I squeezed the trigger of my [G] _ _ armalight. _ _ _
_ Oh mama _ _ _ _ _ [Am] comfort _ _ me, _ for [D] I know these awful things have [G] got to be. _ _
_ But when the war for freedom [Am] has been won, _ _ _ [D] I promise you I'll put away [G] my gun. _ _ _
_ _ Shots rang out, I heard a [Am] soldier _ cry, _ _
_ _ [D] please don't leave me here [G] alone to die. _ _ _
_ I _ realized his patrol had [Am] gone _ away, _ _ _ [D] and left no wounded comrade _ [G] for me to slay. _ _
_ Oh mama _ comfort _
_ _ [Am] _ _ _ me, _ _ [D] for I know these awful things [G] have got to be. _ _
_ But when the war _ _ _ [Am] for freedom has been _ won, _ _ [D] I promise you I'll put away [G] my gun. _ _ _
_ _ There's nothing in this world [Am] I would not _ _ give.
_ _ [D] If mercy in your heart you'll [G] let me live. _ _
_ _ For in his eyes I saw [Am] faith _ fling. _
_ [D] As the nozzle of my gun leaped [G] towards his brain. _ _
_ Oh mama _ _ _
_ _ [Am] comfort _ _ me, _ [D] for I know these awful things [G] have got to be. _ _
_ _ But when the war for freedom _ [Am] has been won, _ _
_ _ [D] I promise you _ I'll put [G] away my gun. _ _
_ _ The dawn was breaking _ when I reached [Am] my _ _ base.
_ _ [D] I can't forget the look on [G] that boy's face. _
_ _ _ Fear, agony, worry _ [Am] were all there. _ _
_ _ [D] But to your memory mama, [G] his life I spare. _ _
_ Oh mama _ _ _ _ [Am] comfort _ _ _ me, _ [D] for I know these awful things [G] have got to be. _ _
_ But when the war for freedom _ [Am] has been won, _ _
_ _ [D] I promise you I'll put [G] away my _ _ _ gun.
_ Oh mama _ _ _ _
_ _ [Am] _ comfort me. _ _ _
