Death Of A Maiden Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Em]
Long [G]ago

[Verse 1]
there was a soldier
And he [C]went to take his [D]stand,
Down [Em]the side, of his broth[C]ers
[D]In a strange and foreign [Em]land.

[Verse 2]
[Em]
Before he [G]left, he met a maiden
Like he [C]never seen before
[D]Stole his[Em] heart, just like an angel[C]
When she threw him [D]down,
he begged [Em]for more.

[Verse 3]
[Em]
Now he asked the an[G]gel,
if she would marry
He asked if [C]she would be his bride
[D]She said she cou[Em]ld not be [D]the widow[C]
To any [D]fighting soldiers [Em]pride.

[Verse 4]
[Em]
He said [G]I cannot leave my brothers
To go [C]fight this war [D]alone.
So I must [Em]go
Ya but please my [C]love
Only [D]wait for my re[Em]turn.

[Verse 5]
[Em]
Well she said, "Its [G]true love,
There is no question.
But true [C]love can keep me [D]warm.
Who will [Em]kiss my ruby [C]lips,
When [D]you are dead and [Em]gone?"

[Interlude 1]
[G][C][D][Em][C]
[D][Em]
He said [G]please stay, You

[Verse 6]
[G]
are my true love
Because I [C]could not dare to [D]go
Into [Em]the arms of any [C]other
No your [D]the only love [Em]know.

[Verse 7]
[Em]
She said I'll [G]wait for you
You are my soldier
If u [C]promise to return
[D]To our hom[Em]e in Carolin[C]a
Where my [D]love for you will [Em]burn,

[Interlude 2]
burn.
[Em][G][C][D][Em][C][D][Em]
When she [G]got the news

[Verse 8]
She cried out my [C]love was lost [D]at sea
She her[Em]self jumped in the wa[C]ter
Where [D]forever they will [Em]be,

[Outro 1]
they will be.
[Em][G][C][D][Em][C][D][Em]
