G O'er the hills and oC'er the main
G Through Flanders, PorCtugal and Spain
G King George commands and Cwe obey
G Over the hillCm/As and far aDway
And we Gsailed out of CEngDland bGound for Lisbon Dharbour
G With bayonets a-glBmeaming and Cpride to the fDore
G We'd little to Bmhope but we trCied hard to chAerish
G C D | C ..
The thoughts of Our loved ones on England's fair shore..
.. Bm | Am |
| C Bm | Am |
GSoon We were CtransporDted through Ghell and its Dfury
G Through smoke and through Bmfire, through Cshot and through Dflame
G And at TelaBmvera We Cstole Boney's AEagle
G C D | C ..
And in that short time We were heroes of Spain
.. Bm | Am |
| C Bm | Am |
And I Gmet with a CmaiDden Ghair black as the rDaven
G Her eyes they did Bmglister like Ctwo diamonds Dbright
G We spoke not a Bmword at Our Cvery first Ameeting
G C D | C ..
And I lay in Her arms all that long Spanish night
.. Bm | Am |
| C Bm | Am |
And We Gtravelled CtogeDther o'er mGountain and vDalley
G And She by My Bmside through Cmany's the Dfight
G She tended My Bmsuffering and She Csalved Me of Apity
G C D | C ..
And bore Me a daughter for My heart's delight
.. Bm | Am |
| C Bm | Am |
And We Gmarched into CLisDbon Gproud Wellington's Darmy
G The war being Bmover it's hComeward We're Dbound
G And all on the Bmquayside C- the weeping and wAailing
G C D | C ,,
Four thousand women left on that cold ground
.. Bm | Am |
| C Bm | Am |
FareGwell and aBmdieu C to You Spanish lDady
Am Farewell and aDdieu to You Amladies of DSpain
G For We've reciBmeved orders C to sail home to DEngland
But I kGnow in some tCime We'll reDturn once aCgain..
Once.D. again..
Once.C. again..
Once.D. again..
And if Gever I'm CreturDning it's with gGold in great pDlenty
G And if I reBmturn it's with Cgold in great sDtore
G I'll search far and Bmwide for CMy Spanish Alady
G C D | C ..
Who brought Me such peace in the midst of such war
.. Bm | Am |
| C Bm | Am |
FareGwell and aBmdieu C to You Spanish lDady
