For you [C] stole Trevelyn’s [F] corn,

By the [C] lonely prison wall, I [F] heard a young man [C] call-[G]-ing,
[C] Nothing matters [F] Mary when you’re [G] free,
Against the [C] famine and the [F] Crown,
I re-[C]-belled, they cut me [G] down,
Now [Dm] you must raise our [G7] child with digni-[C]-ty.

|It's so [Dm] lonely round the [G7] fields of Athen-[C]-ry.
By the [C] lonely harbour wall, she [F] watched the last star [C] fall-[G]-ing,
As the [C] prison ship sailed [F] out against the [G] sky,
For she’ll [C] live in hope and [F] pray,
For her [C] love in Botany [G] Bay,
It's so [Dm] lonely round the [G7] fields of Athen-[C]-ry

By the C lonely prison wall, I F heard a young girl C call-G-ing, C Michael they have F taken you a-G-way, For you C stole Trevelyn’s F corn, so the C young might see the G morn, Now a Dm prison ship lies G7 waiting in the C bay.
C Low F lie the C fields of Athen-Am-ry, Where C once we watched the small free birds G fly, Our C love was on the F wing, We had C dreams and songs to G sing, It's so Dm lonely round the G7 fields of Athen-C-ry.
By the C lonely prison wall, I F heard a young man C call-G-ing, C Nothing matters F Mary when you’re G free, Against the C famine and the F Crown, I re-C-belled, they cut me G down, Now Dm you must raise our G7 child with digni-C-ty.
C Low F lie the C fields of Athen-Am-ry, Where C once we watched the small free birds G fly, Our C love was on the F wing, We had C dreams and songs to G sing, It's so Dm lonely round the G7 fields of Athen-C-ry.
By the C lonely harbour wall, she F watched the last star C fall-G-ing, As the C prison ship sailed F out against the G sky, For she’ll C live in hope and F pray, For her C love in Botany G Bay, It's so Dm lonely round the G7 fields of Athen-C-ry

Travellin' Soldier - The Dixie Chicks
[C] Two days past 18
He was waiting for the bus in his army greens
Sat [F]down at a booth in a cafe there,
Gave his [C]order to a girl with a bow in her hair.
[C]He's a little shy so she gives him a smile
And he said would you mind sittin' down for a while
And [F]talking to me ... I'm feeling a little [C]low
She said I'm [Bb]off in an hour and [F]I know where we can [C]go.
[C]So they went down and they sat on the pier,
he said "I bet you got a boyfriend but I don't care,
I [F] got no one... to send a letter [C]to.
Would you [Bb]mind if I sent [F]one back here to [C]you?"
|Chorus:
|[Am]I cried
|[F]Never gonna hold the hand of another [C]guy
|Too young, for him they told her
|[G]Waitin' for the love of a travellin' soldier
|[Am]Our love will never end
|[F]Waitin' for the soldier to come back [C]again
|Never more to be alone
|When the [G]letter says, a soldier's coming [C]home
[C]So the letters came from an army camp
In California then Vietnam
And he [F] told her of his heart
It might be love and [C] all of things he was so scared of.
He said when it's gettin' kinda rough over here
I think of that day sittin' down at the pier
And [F] I close my eyes and see your pretty [C]smile
Don't [Bb]worry but I won't be [F]able to write for a [C]while
Chorus:
[C]One Friday night at a football game
The Lord's Prayer said and the anthem sang
A [F]man said Folks .. would you bow your heads
For a [C]list of local Vietnam dead.
Cryin' all alone under the stands
Was a piccolo player in the marching band
And [F]one name read and nobody really [C] cared
But a [Bb]pretty little girl .. [F]with a bow in her [C]hair.
|[Am]I cried……..[F]Never gonna hold the hand of another [C]guy
