Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
In every war,
[Em]soldiers go off to battle,
and songs express how the women at home
live in dread and hope.
Here [G]I sit o[Em]n Buttermilk H[Bm]ill.
[G]Who could blame me?
Crime I feel.
[Em]And every tear would turn a mill.
Johnny has [Bm]gone for a [Em]sol dier,
[G]surely, sur[Em]ely, surely, too, surely,
Sakuraga, bibbidi -bobbidi -boo.
If I should [Bm]die for [Em]Sally Bubbly,
come, bibbidi -bob[Bm]bidi -boo,
[Em]sorrow wrong.
I'd [G]sell my clock, [Em]I'd sell my r[Bm]eel,
[G]Likewise, I'd sell my spinning [Em]wheel,
To buy, my love, a sword of steel.
Johnny has [Bm]gone for a [Em]sol dier,
[G]surely, sur[Em]ely, surely, too[Bm].
[Em]Surely, Sakuraka, bibbidi -bobbidi -boo.
If I should [Bm]die for Sally [Em]Bubbly,
come, bibbidi -bobbidi [Bm]-boo, [Em]Sarora.
