My gun and my powder

My old woolen trousers

A call of the bugle

Another refusal
Am
To wait for the snow
[Chorus]
Dm F
She knows that I'll grow
C Am
Slowly as a raindrop down your window pane
Dm F
She knows that I'll hold
C Am
Her locket on a chain to keep the evil things away

When the evenings get cold
