[VERSE 1]

C G C

Got to know that our love was dying

Bb F

Weighed heavy on my brain

C G

My thoughts and my care

C F

were stripped and laid bare

C G F

I beheld her beauty again

[VERSE 2]

C G C

And it's not for lack of trying

Bb F

Her love left my heart like a shell

C G

She cried both our tears

C F

And when the morning appeared,

C G F

we had guarded our virtue quite well

[CHORUS]

C G C

But I'm going to stand by you

Am G

Even when the sun goes down

F C

The ground is waiting

G F

We let go our memory

Bb G

And I stand alone

[INTERLUDE]

C G C Bb F

C G C F C G F

[VERSE 3]

C G C

I'm a plain unlucky soldier

Bb F

No better than you

C G

I go where I'm swept

C F

and no record is kept

C G F

since I let go my love so true

[CHORUS]

C G C

But I'm going to stand by you

Am G

Even when the sun goes down

F C

The ground is waiting

G F

We let go our memory

Bb G

And I stand alone

[VERSE 4]

C G

Contentment is yours

C F

So hear my sad song

C G

Then drink down the bottle

C F

And we'll move along

[OUTRO]
