[Verse 1]
DThat sweet new CEngland breeze
GTouched your hair and made my knees weak
CI recall that Dsnowfall brought me Emwarmth
DI was just Ca poor farmer
GAnd you were the reverends daughter
CBut eyes meCadd9t eyes and Dnature ran its cEmourse
DI'm just a hCumble man
GIve barely been ten miles off my land
CWhat do the sons think DI would know of wEmar
DBut I'll join the miClitia men
GTo fight for general Washington
CThough I've Cadd9never seen a Dbayonet beforEme
[Chorus]
DMy princess, mCy sweet lips
DIs this how it must Ambe?
CThat some must die so otDhers may live fEmree?
CThat some must die so otDhers may live frEmee E
[Verse 2]
DAt valley forge we fCroze our toes off
GAft Benedict held Saratoga
CIf I survive I'll nDo more cry for cEmold
DI wonder if I Cever will grow Gold
CMy sweetCadd9 lips willD I ever growEm old?
DDearest ElCizabeth,
GCan you imagine death?
CThe things I've seen are Detched into my eEmyes
DAnd have you eCver feared to dGie?
CMy swCadd9eet lips have you Dever feared to dEmie?
[Chorus]
DMy princess, mCy sweet lips
DIs this how it must Ambe?
CThat some must die so otDhers may live fEmree?
CThat some must die so otDhers may live frEmee E
[Verse 3]
DI was standing aCt my post
GWhen the captain spied a blood red coat
CAnd said Johnny won’t you sDhoot that bastard dEmown
DI prayed to the CHoly Ghost
GAnd squeezed my musket close
Said CsweetCadd9 lips dont you Dfail me nEmow
[Chorus]
DMy princess, mCy sweet lips
DIs this how it must Ambe?
CThat some must die so otDhers may live fEmree?
CThat some must die so otDhers may live frEmee
[Chorus 2]
