[VERSE 1]
C G C
Got to know that our love was dying
Bb F
Weighed heavy on my brain
C G
My thoughts and my care
C F
were stripped and laid bare
C G F
I beheld her beauty again
[VERSE 2]
C G C
And it's not for lack of trying
Bb F
Her love left my heart like a shell
C G
She cried both our tears
C F
And when the morning appeared,
C G F
we had guarded our virtue quite well
[CHORUS]
C G C
But I'm going to stand by you
Am G
Even when the sun goes down
F C
The ground is waiting
G F
We let go our memory
Bb G
And I stand alone
[INTERLUDE]
C G C Bb F
C G C F C G F
[VERSE 3]
C G C
I'm a plain unlucky soldier
Bb F
No better than you
C G
I go where I'm swept
C F
and no record is kept
C G F
since I let go my love so true
[CHORUS]
C G C
But I'm going to stand by you
Am G
Even when the sun goes down
F C
The ground is waiting
G F
We let go our memory
Bb G
And I stand alone
[VERSE 4]
C G
Contentment is yours
C F
So hear my sad song
C G
Then drink down the bottle
C F
And we'll move along
[OUTRO]
