A B
Oh my dearest Martha,
A E
Forgive the shaking hand
F#m E
We’re waiting to go over,
A B
To go to no man’s land
C#m A
Though we know many will fall,
G# B
We must be ready when we hear the call
A
Oh I wish I was far away from this hell
C#m B
And in your arms to stay,
A
Until we grow old
E A F#m
Grow old and grey, With you to hold
C#m B
I would never ever stray,
F#m E A E
From the bonny bonny hills of sweet Lislea
[Verse 2]
A B
Save James from being a soldier,
A E
May he never cross that line
F#m E
And you - my life’s companion,
A B
I’m sorry we hadn’t more time
C#m A
I was blessed the day we first met,
G# B

I was bIessed the day that you said yes,
C#m B
To be as one always

Until we grow old

And so the hour’s upon us,
A E
The whistle soon will blow,
F#m E
Here in my breast pocket,
A B
They will find this final note
C#m A
Here beside your photograph,
G# B
With your lock of hair beside my heart
A
Oh I pray tomorrow I can rip it apart,
C#m B
and live to see the day
A
Until we grow old
E A F#m
Grow old and grey, With you to hold
C#m B
I would never ever stray,
F#m E
From the bonny bonny hills,
C#m B
Those rolling bonny hills
