Chocolate Soldier Chords & Lyrics - Misc Traditional

[G]As I walked towards the old tow[C]n hall
A cr[D]owd of my mates by my s[G]ide
To join up the Ulster Div[C]ision
I k[D]new I was young but I l[G]ied
In the YCV they had tra[C]ined me
To ho[D]nour and fight for my l[G]and
And I proudly paraded through Be[C]lfast
To the s[D]ound of a fife and drum b[G]and.

Ar[C]riving in Europe it h[G]it me
the r[C]eality of what I woul[G]d do
I would c[C]lamber or the trench l[G]adder
When the ca[D]ptain his whistle he b[G]lew.
[C] [G] [D] [G]

S[G]o tonight as i lie in this du[C]gout
Co[D]ld and encased in the m[G]ud
I long to be with you my dar[C]ling
To [D]hold you as one of my blo[G]od

We'd walk hand in hand through old
[C]Belfast
T[D]hrough the streets that I love [G]Sandy

Row
But I know that it will never ha[C]ppen
For t[D]omorrow to battle I [G]go.

[C]Remember I always will lo[G]ve you
[C]Tell my ma and my da just the [G]same
[C]I'm afraid like the lads here be[G]side me
That in [D]France I will surely rem[G]ain.

[C] [G] [D] [G]
[G]But I'd fight and I'd die for old
[C]Ulster
For E[D]ngland and the red white and b[G]lue
I would die for our leader Lord C[C]arson
The[D] YCV are all loyal to y[G]ou.
Don't be stirred my lads I am wr[C]iting
To [D]my girl back in Belfast so t[G]rue

She broke her wee heart when I left
[C]her
My [D]Ulster I do this for y[G]ou

[C]So I bid you adue now my da[G]rling
For it's d[C]ark and I can't see to w[G]rite
R[C]emember the Ulster Div[G]ision
For Ul[D]ster will always be ri[G]ght

Yes re[C]member the Ulster Divi[G]sion
For Ul[D]ster will always be ri[G]ght.
