Am                     F                     E
Sweet bird of sunrise, brown haired and sad eyes
Am          G        Am     F    G  C
Cry not one tear for me and I’ll be home
Am                          F                   E
I've heard some friends say this war won't last a day
Am          G    Am     F     G      C
You must be brave and I trust you'll wait

Chorus:
A             Dm     G                  C
Here are my hands, keep them warm for me
Am         F                   Dm
If I rush away don't turn your head
Am   C       F      Am      Dm
If I die, to me you promise this
G       C              Em       F
Try and think of me as one lost friend

Am                      F            E
But if you hear a song, sing slowly sisters
Am          G        Am     F    G  C
That will be us again, so please be strong
Am                      F            E
Now as we march away sing slowly sisters
Am          G        Am     F    G  C
Sing slowly Sisters
A             Dm     G                  C
Here are my hands, keep them warm for me
Am         F                   Dm
If I rush away don't turn your head
Am   C       F      Am      Dm
If I die, to me you promise this
G       C              Em       F
Try and think of me as one lost friend
