[Gm] _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
[Bb] Come all [D] ye [Fm] valiant [G] _ [Am] soldiers, [G] [F] the story [C] [D] I will tell
[Am] About the bloody [E] [Am] battle that was [B] _ fought [Am] on [Dm] _ Shallow Hill
[Am] It was an [F] awful struggle _ and will cause your [Dm] blood to _ [A] chill
It [Dm] was the [C] [F] famous [C]
battle that was [F] fought on [D] Shallow Hill
_ [Dm] It was [F] the 6th of [Dm] April [Gm] just at the [C] break [Dm] of day
[F] The drums and pipes [Bb] were [F] playing for [Dm] _ _ us [C] to march [Dm] _ away
[F] The feeling [Bb] of that [Dm] hour I do _ [A] remember still
[Gm] For the wounded [C]
[F] and the dying [Gm] that lay on [C]
[Dm] Shallow _ _ _ Hill _ _
[Gm] _ _ _ [C] _ [F] _ [Eb] _ [Am] _ _
[Eb] _ [Bb] _ _ [C] _ [Dm] _ _ _
Hey, about the [F] hour of [Cm] _ [D] sunrise [Gm] the battle [Dm] it began
And before the day [Bb] had [Dm] vanished we had fought [Am] them [G] [Dm] hand to hand
The horrors [F] of [Gm] the [Dm] field did my heart with anguish [Gbm] feel
[Gm] For the wounded [C] and the [Gm]
[F] dying [Bb] that lay on [C] [Dm] Shallow _ Hill
The wounded [F] men were [Dm] crying [Gm] for help from _ [Dm] everywhere
_ _ [F] While others who [Bb] were [F] dying [Dm] were _ _ [C] offering God [Dm] their _ prayer
[F] Protect my wife [Bb] and children [F] if [Dm] it is thy [A] holy _ will
[Gm] Such were the [C] prayers [F] I heard that night [Gm] on bloody _
[Dm] Shallow Hill _ _ _ _
[Gm] _ _ _ [C] _ [F] _ _ _ _
[Gm] _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _
And early [F] the next [Dm] morning [Gm] we were called [C] to [Dm] arms again _
[F] _ Unmindful of [Bb] the [F] wounded and [Dm] _ _ _ [C] unmindful of [Dm] the slain
[F] The struggle was [Bb] renewed [F] and [Dm] ten thousand men [A] were killed
[Gm] This was the [C] second [F] _ _
conflict [Gm] of the famous [C] [Dm] Shallow _ Hill
The battle [F] it raged on [Dm] though [Gm] _ dead and [Dm] dying men
[F] Lay thick all o'er the [Bb] ground [F] on [Dm] the _ hill [C] and on [Dm] the glen
[F] And from their deadly [Bb] _ [F] wounds the [Dm] blood ran like [A] a reel
[Gm] Such were the [Cm] mournful [F] sights I saw [Gm] on bloody [Dm] Shallow _ Hill _ _ _ _
[Gm] _ _ _ [Cm] _ [F] _ [Gm] _ [Am] _ _
[Gm] _ _ _ [C] _ [Dm] _ _ _
Before the [F] day was [C] [D] ended [Gm] the battle ceased [Dm] to roar
[F] And thousands of [Gb] brave [F] soldiers had [Dm] failed _ [C] to [G] rise no [Dm]
more
They left their vacant ranks for some other ones [A] to fill
[Bb] And now [Gm] their mould [Eb]'rin' [F] bodies [Bb] all lie on [Dm] Shallow Hill
And now my [F] song is [Dm] ended _ [Gm] about those bloody [Dm] _
plains
[F] I hope the sight [Bb] by mortal [Dm] man may ne _ [C]'er be seen [Dm] again
_ But [F] I pray to God my [Bb] [Dm] Savior if consistent with [A] thy will
To [Gm] save [Cm] the [F] souls of all who fell [Gm] on bloody _ [Bb] _
[Dm] Shallow Hill _ _ _ _ _
