Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][Bb][Ab][G][Eb][Bb][F][C][G]

[Verse 1]
She'd [Eb]walk through [Bb]the door
and she'd [F]set up the [C]drinks on [G]the house
She played a good [Eb]game of darts,
[Bb]and the men slap[F]ped her [C]back
And never took [G]her out
She [Am]wore a trench[E]coat khaki
Her [Am]hobnail boots were
[D]full of [G]holes[D]
She's [G]got [D]medals[G][C]
[Eb][Bb][F][C][G]

[Verse 2]
[Eb]Her mother called her Mary,
[Bb]but she [F]changed her name t[C]o Tommy, she's a[G] one, oh
She [Eb]went and joined the army,
[F]passed the medical
Don't [C]ask me how it's [G]done
They [Am]sent her to the [E]front line
[Am]Fighting for her [D]country's [G]name[D]
She's [G]got [D]medals[G]

[Verse 3]
She [A]got very tired of [F]picking up girls
[Bb]Cleaning her gun and [Eb]shaving her curls
[Ab]Then the enemy dropped [C#]a bomb
Sur[Bb]vivors there were none

[Interlude 1]
[Eb][Bb][G][C][G]

[Verse 4]
[Eb]People say that [Bb]when the moon is [F]full and
all [C]the stars have gone [G]to bed
You can [Eb]see her ghost but [Bb]that's a lie be
[F]cause the naughty wo[C]man isn't [G]dead
She [Am]deserted on
the previous [E]morning
Re[Am]placed her uniform with
[D]dresses [G]silk and [D]green[G]
Called herself Eileen
[D]Came [G]to London [D]town
Now she's [G]settled [D]down
She's [G]got [D]medals

[Outro 1]
[D][G][Eb][G]
[Bb][F][C][G][Eb][Bb][F][C][G]
