A                                                                                      E                      A 
There was a soldier, there was a lady, there was a lover, who live in town 
A                                                                                       E                              A       
There was a battle, in that far country, to that dark land was that old soldier bound 
A                                                                                                     E                             A 
He held his true love, he kissed her softly, said “Darlin’ fear not, I’ll come back around” 
A                                                                                                     E                    A 
From a rear window, the lover watching…watching as her tears fell to the ground 
 
 
A                                                                                                 E                                         A 
The nights grew cold, her heart grew lonely, along the streets she would walk and she’d cry 
A                                                                                                                               E                         A     
Her heart was tender, her thoughts went yonder, she’d gently kiss the ring she’d wear upon her finger 
	D                             A 
        Distance makes the heart grow fonder 
	    C                       A 
	But passion makes the fire bright 
	D                 A 
	Loneliness and Confusion 
	C   D        E 
	Darkness and Light 
A                                                                                  E                                A 
One night while dreamin’, she saw her true love, by the old rock he sat a-weepin’ 
A                                                                                                        E                          A 
His eyes were shinin’, his head turned skyward, asking “ God above, how could this be?” 
A                                                                                                                         E                                A 
She jumped up from her bed, her heart was pounding…she went out to calm herself in the cool night air 
A                                                                                                      E                 A 
She started roamin’, by the edge of town, while the lover watched her go all alone 
 
A                                                                                       E                      A 
She soon grew weary, her body tired, by an old rock wall she settled down 
A                                                                                                          E                        A 
Her lover approaching…approaching gently, lonely love was his favorite hunting ground 
A                                                                                         E                     A 
The very next morning, the lady rising, she felt confusion, like never before 
A                                                                                                                                          E                          A 
She awoke in her own bed with a tender feeling thought she heard the sound of her sweet soldier aproachin 
A                                                                                                                                      E                        A 
A knock came upon the door, she jumped up running, only to see a strange soldier with medals a-shinin’ 
A                                                                                                                    E                               A 
He said “Sad lady…sad news I bring you…Your soldier died last night while the bullets were flyin’ 
A                                                                                                                 E                  A 
“No, no, no, this can’t be…for just last evening, my soldier sang to me love’s true song” 
A                                                                                                                              E                 A 
Wracked with confusion, she fell a-weepin’, while the lover, from his window watched all along…
