[E][D]
[A]Devonside she was a-marching
[D]It It [G]was a gang of no great [D]size
And sur[F#m]render was the [G]ban
ner that she [D]carried
And [A]hungry was [G]the shiver in her eyes
[D]

[Verse 2]
She met a boy,
[A]his health was failing[D]
She dropped the [G]banner
and took her [D]prize
And the [F#m]only food she h[G]ad
was bread and [D]morphine
Ah, but [A]he fed on [G]the shiver in her [D]eyes

[Verse 3]
[A]By Devonside his love was drift[D]ing
He looked [G]for comfort otherwise
[D]And the[F#m]re never was a rop[G]e
or chain [D]about him
Ah, she [A]held him with the shiver
[G]in [D]her eyes

[Verse 4]
Ah, she said, my [D]John,
[A]I'll be your pillow[D]
I'll be [G]your lover, [Em]mother, whore and [D]wife
And he knew [F#m]that he l[G]oved
and never [D]seen her
When the [A]light fell from
[G]the shiver in her eyes
