Em9Never say goEmodbye
You're the apple of my Dmaj7eye
Em9The bells I hear them Emring
And in the churchyard children Dmaj7sing
For so lEmong
For so lDmaj7ong
I've soldiered Emon
For so Dmaj7long
Em9Another blessed morning Emcomes
Thy will on earth be Dmaj7done
Em9Blundered into the aEmbyss
To seek the wonders of your Dmaj7kiss
Em9I still can taste your lEmips
My hands upon your Dmaj7hips
For so Emlong
For so Dmaj7long
I've soldiered Emon
For so Dmaj7long
[Bridge]
 Em/ Dmaj7  
As the stars they slowly Amdie
Thunder cracks across the Gmaj7sky
These are the words I've longed to sAmay:
Be with me, my love, aGmaj7lways
But no our moonlit silhouettes they part and fAmade
I'm left with a loneliness that has no nGmaj7ame
For so lAmong
For so lGmaj7ong
I'll soldier Amon
For so lGmaj7ong
Never say gooAmdbye
You're the apple of my Gmaj7eye
