[Verse 1]

Bm           E            C#m          F#m
How goes it, soldier? I'm too young to muster
       Bm           E          C#m           F#m
Though I know brown bonnet who sweats like a soldier
         D          E         C#m     F#m
When her boots come r-i-i-i-i-ding
         Bm*         F#m           E        Bm*
On those nights that seem like the devil is riding
   Bm*      F#m    E        Bm*
My halo for sabers over his shoulder
       Bm*       F#m    E        Bm*
And he brings to me the rope and saw
Bm*        F#m      E          Bm*         E
One put to hang in, put one to save in


[Verse 2]

    Bm           E           C#m        F#m
And how goes it, sailor? I'm unwell for sailing
       D          E         C#m     F#m
Though I know the captain's bride
           Bm*      F#m
'Cause she comes to me and
      E            Bm*       E
She's handsome and wild as a hawk

[Verse 3]

    Bm           E         C#m        F#m
And how goes it, sister? I do hate be bothering
       D          E        C#m        F#m
Though I know you hate the fiends
     Bm*     F#m             E       Bm*
They come to you and they're bearin' friendship
   Bm*        F#m       E      Bm*
No lies could more have been
    Bm*     F#m
You come to me and
       E                Bm*       E
You're handsome, you're wild as a hawk
