The night was icy cold, I was [Am] alone _
I was waiting for an army foot [G] patrol _ _
And when at last they came to [Am] my sight _
Oh, [D] I squeezed the trigger of my [G] arm light _
Well, a shot rang out, I heard a [Am] soldier cry _
[D] Oh, please don't leave me here alone [G] to die _
And I realized his patrol had [Am] gone away _
[D] And had left their wounded comrade for [G] me to slay
Oh, Mama, oh, Mama, [Am] comfort me
[D] For I know these awful things [G] have got to [D] be
Oh, but when the war for freedom [Am] has been won
[D] Oh, I promise you I'll put [C] away my gun
[G] _
_ There's nothing in this world I [Am] would not give
If [D] there's mercy in your heart you [G] let me live
And in his eyes I saw a [Am] look of pain _
[D] As the muzzle of my gun [G] moved towards his _ brain
Oh, Mama, oh, Mama, [Am] comfort me
[D] For I know these awful things [G] have got to be
[D] _
[G] Oh, but when the war for freedom [Am] has been won _
[D] Oh, I promise you I'll put [C] away my gun
[G]
The dawn was breaking as I [Am] reached my base
I [D] will not forget the look on [G] that boy's face
Fear, agony and torment [Am] were all there
[D] Oh, but to your memory mother his [G] life I spared
Oh, Mama, oh, Mama, [Am] comfort me
[D] For I know these awful things [G] have got to be
[D] _
[G] Oh, but when the war for freedom [Am] has been won _
[D] Oh, I promise you I'll put [Cm] away my gun
[G] _
Oh, but when the war for freedom [Am] has been won
[D] Oh, I promise you I'll put [Cm] away my [B] gun
