G6no3: xx5030

G6no3
Oh my love has left me with bairnes twa

And that's the last of him I ever saw
Em
He joined the army and marched to war
Am7
He took the shilling,
C D G
He took the shilling and he's off to war

Chorus:
G C G Am
Come, laddies, come, hear the cannon roar
G C D G
Take the king’s shilling and you’re off to war

G C G C G
Well, did he look as he marched along
C G
With his kilt and sporran and his musket gun
C G Em
The ladies tipped him as he marched along
Am7 C D G
He sailed out by, he sailed out by the Broomielaw

G C G C G
Well the pipes did play as he marched along
C G
And the soldiers sang out a battle song
C G Em
"March on, march on,” cried the captain gay
Am7 C D G
For king and country, for king and country we will fight today

(Chorus)

G C G C G
Well, the battle rattled to the sound of guns
C G
And the bayonets flashed in the morning sun
C G Em
The drums did beat and the cannon roared
Am7 C D G
And the shilling little seemed, oh the shilling didn’t seem much worth the war


G C G C G
Well, the men they fought and the men did fall
C G
Cut down by bayonet and musket ball
C G Em
Many of these brave young men
Am7 C D G
Would never fight for, would never fight for the King again

G C G Am
Come, laddies, come, hear the cannon roar
G C D G
Take the king’s shilling and you'll die in war…
G C G Am
Come, laddies, come, hear the cannon oar
G C D G
Take the king’s shilling and you'll die in war…
G C G Am
Come, laddies, come, hear the cannon roar
G C D G
Take the king’s shilling and you'll die in war…
C G
Die in war, die in war
C G
Die in war, die in war
