Am C D C G Am (4x)
[Verse 1]
C D
Polly, dearest Polly
C G Am
The war is now begun
C D
And I must ride away at

The beating of the drum
C D
Come dress yourself all in your best
C G Am
Come go along with me
C D
I will take you to the cruel wars
C G Am
In Higher Germanie
[Verse 2]
C D
Oh Harry, dearest Harry
C G Am
Mind what I do say
C D
My feet they are so tired
C G Am
I cannot go away
C D
Besides, my dearest Harry
C G Am
Though I'm in love with thee
C D
I am not fit for cruel wars
C G Am
In Higher Germanie
[Verse 3]
C D
I'll buy for you a horse, my love
C G Am
And on it you shall ride
C D
And all of my contentment shall
C G Am
Be marching by your side
C D
We'll stop at every alehouse
C G Am
And drink when we are dry
C D
So quickly on the road, my love
C G Am
We will marry by and by
[Instrumental]

[Verse 4]
C D
Oh, cursed be those cruel wars
C G Am
That ever they should rise
C D
And out of Merry England
C G Am
Take many a lad likewise
C D
They took my dearest Harry
C G Am
Also his brothers three
C D
And sent them to the cruel wars
C G Am
