Your ^Amcheeks too red and ^Crosy to ^Fface the ^Ccannonball, ^AmOh to f^Eace the c^Amannonball.

^AmI know my waist's too ^Cslender, my fingers they are ^Esmall, But ^Amit would not make me ^Ctremble to ^Fsee ten thousand ^Cfall,

^AmOh to s^Eee ten thousand f^Amall. Am, C, E, Am, C, F, C, Am, E, Am x2

^AmOh her d^Earling boy she f^Amound. ^AmShe picked him up on in her ^Carms and carried him to ^Etown,

She s^Ament for a ^Cphysician to ^Fquickly heal his ^Cwounds, ^AmOh to quickly ^Eheal his ^Amwounds.

^AmThis couple they got ^Cmarried, so well did they a^Egree, This ^Amcouple they got ^Cmarried, so ^Fwhy not you and ^Cme?

^AmOh why not ^Eyou and ^Amme?
