Battle Hymn Of Love

Kathy Mattea


Tom: A

       A            
I will pledge my heart to the love we share
                         E          A
Through the good and the bad times, too.

I'll forsake my rest for your happiness
                   E        A
To my death I will stand by you.


[Chorus 1]
   D                       A 
As God is my witness, this vow I will make
                                     E 
To have and to hold you, no other to take
    A                                     D 
For rich or for poor, under skies grey or blue
      A            E        A
To my death I will stand by you.


[Verse 2]
          A                         
There are wars and there are rumours of wars yet to come
                  E            A 
Temptations we'll have to pass through
                                       D 
Though others may tremble, I will not run
                   E        A 
To my death I will stand by you.

[Chorus 2]
       D                    A    
I will put on the armour of faithfullness
                             E
To fight for a heart that is true
         A                         D
Till the battle is won, I will not run
      A            E        A      
To my death I will stand by you.

[repeat chorus1]

[Tag]
         A                         D
Till the battle is won, I will not run
      A            E        A      
To my death I will stand by you.
