Billy Don't Be A Hero--Paper Lace
AmThe marchin' band came Ddown along main street
GThe soldier blues fell in behind
AmI looked across and thDere I saw Billy
EmWaiting to go and jGoin the line
AmAnd with her head uDpon his shoulder
AmHis young and lovelyD fiancee
AmFrom where I stood DI saw she was cryin'
AmAnd through her tears DI heard her say
GBilly, don't be a hero, don't be a Amfool with your life
Am7Billy, don't be a hero, come back and Gmake me your wife
And as GBilly startedG7 to go,
She said Amkeep your pretty Cmhead low
GBilly, don't be Dhero, come back to Gme.
AmThe soldier blues were Dtrapped on a hillside
GThe battle raging all around
AmThe sargeant cried, &qDuot;We've got to hang on boys!"
EmWe've got to hold thiGs piece of ground
AmI need a volunteer Dto ride up,
AmAnd bring us back sDome extra men,
AmAnd Billy's hand wasD up in a moment
AmForgettin' all the wDords she said...she sD7aid
CHORUS
AmI heard his fiancDee got a letter
GThat told how Billy died that day
AmThe letter said that Dhe was a hero
EmShe should be proud he dieGd that way
EmI heard she threw the Dletter aGway
