[Intro]

|   F    C|   G    D|   A    C|    A   A7   A|
[Verse 1]
She Fwalked through the Cdoor and she'd Gset up the Ddrinks on the Ahouse
She played a Fgood game of Cdarts, and the Gmen slapped her Dback, never took her Aout
She Bmwore a trenchcoat F#khaki, her Bmhobnail boots were Efull of Aholes.E  
[Chorus]
EShe's Agot E7medals.
|   F    C|   G    D|   A    C|    A   A7   A|
[Verse 2]
Her Fmother called her CMary but she Gchanged her name to DTommy, she's a Aone.
She Fwent and joined the Carmy, passed the Gmedical, don't Dask me how it's Adone.
They Bmsent her to the F#front line, Bmfighting for her Ecountry's AnameE  
[Chorus]
EShe's Agot E7medals.
[Bridge]
She Bgot very tired of Gpicking up girls,
CCleaning her gun, and Fshaving her curls
             Bb                   Eb                   C(F)
Then the enemy dropped a bomb, survivors there were none!
|   F    C|   G    D|   A    C|    A   A7   A|
[Verse 3]
FPeople say that Cwhen the moon is Gfull and all the Dstars have gone to Abed
You can Fsee a ghost but Cthat's a lie beGcause the naughty Dwoman isn't Adead.
She deBmserted on the previous F#morning, reBmplaced her uniform with Edresses Asilk and Egreen
ECalled herAself EiEleen,
Ecame to ALondon Etown,
Enow she's Asettled Edown.
[Chorus]
EShe's Agot E7medals.
