[Verse]
Am C G Am
We set out in late October, moving cross the frozen ground.
Am C G Am
We could see it in the stars, we knew that we were glory bound.
Am C G Am
we were looking for an answer, we were looking for a sign,
Am C G Am
we were waiting on a savior, come and ease our worried minds.
[Chorus 1]
G Em C
Darling, I swear it's true, I will come back to you, in the springtime
Em G Em
when the lillies are in bloom. Hush now and dry your eyes, you
C
know I would not tell a lie, I'm coming back to you, when the
G
lillies are in bloom.
[Verse 2]
Am C G Am
The general, he says that it will not be very long
Am C G Am
but the air is full of smoke an those damn red coats coming on
Am C G Am
I dream your kisses on my eyelids, though it was so long ago
Am C G Am
and the boys are in the fields, they're all dying all alone.
[Chorus 1]
G Em C
Darling, I swear it's true, I will come back to you, in the springtime
Em G Em
when the lillies are in bloom. Hush now and dry your eyes, you
C
know I would not tell a lie, I'm coming back to you, when the
G
lillies are in bloom.
[Verse 3]
Am C G Am
Last night they came while we were sleeping, Lord they did not make a sound
Am C G Am
I took a bullet to my breast, saw my blood spill on the ground
Am C G Am
When the sun come I hear voices say "this boy cannot be saved"
Am C G Am
so they bowed their heads in prayer and dug a shallow grave
[Chorus 2]
G Em
Darling I've been such a fool, to think that i'd be coming back to you
C Em
to make you wait for me, beneath the waning moon.
G Em
Come now, stand by my side, pile the cool black stones where I lie,
C G
It's springtime, and the lillies are in bloom.
[Verse 4]
Am C G Am
Tell our son not of our bravery, but a soldier's tale of woe.
C G Am
for there's no glory where i've fallen, and i'm so far from my home
