Sting - Pretty young soldier

Th^Dere are two young l^Amovers, they're^C pledged to each other'^Gs hands, Th^Dey meet by the ^Amriver, to t^Calk of their marriage^G plans. “I^D'm confessing,” ^Amhe said, “^CI've signed for a ^Gsoldier, I'^Dm leaving tomo^Amrrow for so^Cme foreign land.”

^FShe watches the ^Gpretty young^D soldiers, ^FAs they march th^Gemselves off^D to the war. ^FShe wonders if s^Ghe'll ever s^Dee him again, ^FSomehow she doub^Gts it, but s^Ahe has to be sure.

^DSo she rode ^Aminto town ^Con the very next d^Gay, ^DAnd dressed ^Amherself up^C all in man's arra^Gy. ^DWith a sword and ^Ama musket s^Che took the King's^G shilling, ^DAnd to fight in some^Am foreign war, She said,^C “Yes!,” she'd be willing.

^FAll you p^Gretty young ^Dsoldiers, ^FIn those uniform^Gs that you'v^De never worn. ^FThe Captain will^G come to ins^Dpect you all now, ^F“Let me down and yo^Gu'll all wish you'd^A never been born.”

^DThe Captain ^Amastride of^C his horse's grey ^Gflanks, ^DPulls the pretty ^Amyoung soldier ^Cfrom out of the ra^Gnks. ^DHis gaze it ^Amis fixed and s^Che's starting to s^Ghake, ^DHe said, “Follow me soldier ^Cand listen to the offer that I'm ^Gwilling to make.”

^F“Come you^G pretty young ^Dsoldier, ^FCome and ^Gbe my right ^Dhand. ^FYou're having this ^Gstrange effect on m^Dy soul, ^FThat I don't ^Gquite unders^Atand.”

^D“Captain, oh Captain, I've a ^Amconfession to make, ^CI love someone else and my ^Gheart it will break.” ^DAnd as she released her brown ^Amhair from a band, ^CIt tumbled all down her shoulders ^Gand into his hands.

^F“Oh you p^Gretty young ^Dsoldier, ^FCome and ^Gtake my right ^Dhand. ^FYou're having this ^Gstrange effect on ^Dmy soul, ^GAnd now I think, I und^Derstand.”
