Pretty Young Soldier

Intro] DACG Verse D Am C G There are two young lovers, they're pledged to each other's hands, D Am C G They meet by the river, to talk of their marriage plans. D Am C G ??I'm confessing,?? he said, ??I've signed for a soldier, D Am C I'm leaving tomorrow for some foreign land.?? Chorus F G D She watches the pretty young soldiers, F G D As they march themselves off to the war. F G D She wonders if she'll ever see him again, F G A Somehow she doubts it, but she has to be sure. Verse D Am C G So she rode into town on the very next day, D Am C G And dressed herself up all in man's array. D Am C G With a sword and a musket she took the King's shilling, D Am And to fight in some foreign war, C She said, ??Yes!,?? she'd be willing. Chorus F G D All you pretty young soldiers, F G D In those uniforms that you've never worn. F G D The Captain will come to inspect you all now, F G A ??Let me down and you'll all wish you'd never been born.?? Verse D Am C G The Captain astride of his horse's grey flanks, D Am C G Pulls the pretty young soldier from out of the ranks. D Am C G His gaze it is fixed and she's starting to shake, D C G He said, ??Follow me soldier and listen to the offer that I'm willing to make.?? Chorus F G D ??Come you pretty young soldier, F G D Come and be my right hand. F G D You're having this strange effect on my soul, F G A That I don't quite understand.?? Bridge D Am ??Captain, oh Captain, I've a confession to make, C G I love someone else and my heart it will break.?? D Am And as she released her brown hair from a band, C G It tumbled all down her shoulders and into his hands. Chorus F G D ??Oh you pretty young soldier, F G D Come and take my right hand. F G D You're having this strange effect on my soul, G D And now I think, I understand.??
