Judy Collins - Wars Of Germany
[Intro]
D
[Verse 1]
Oh, woe be to the orders
C G A
That marched my love away
D F#m G A
And woe be to the bitter tears
D G A
I shed upon this day
[Verse 2]
D F#m G A
And woe be to the bloody wars
D G C A
Of high Germany
D G D
For they've carried off my own true love
C G A
Left a broken heart to bleed
[Verse 3]
The drums beat in the morning
C G A
Before the break of day
D F#m G A
And the wee, wee pipes played loud and shrill
D G A
While yet the morn was grey
[Verse 4]
D F#m G A
And the bonnie flags were all unfurled
D G C A
Was a gallant sight to see
D G D
But sorrow for my soldier lad
C G A
Who marched to Germany
[Verse 5]
D
Oh, woe be to the orders
C G A
That marched my love away
D F#m G A
And woe be to the bitter tears
D G A
I shed upon this day
[Verse 6]
D F#m G A
And woe be to the country
D G C A
Where our men are forced to be
D G D
And woe be to the foreign wars
C G A G A
That stole my love from me
