Spanish Bride chords

[G] O'er the hills and o[C]'er the main
[G] Through Flanders, Por[C]tugal and Spain
[G] King George commands and [C]we obey

And we [G]sailed out of [C]Eng[D]land b[G]ound for Lisbon [D]harbour
[G] With bayonets a-gl[Bm]eaming and [C]pride to the f[D]ore
[G] We'd little to [Bm]hope but we tr[C]ied hard to ch[A]erish

[G]Soon We were [C]transpor[D]ted through [G]hell and its [D]fury

[G] And at Tela[Bm]vera We [C]stole Boney's [A]Eagle
[G] [C] [D] | [C] ..
And in that short time We were heroes of Spain

.. [Bm] | [Am] |
| [C] [Bm] | [Am] |

And I [G]met with a [C]mai[D]den [G]hair black as the r[D]aven

[G] We spoke not a [Bm]word at Our [C]very first [A]meeting
[G] [C] [D] | [C] ..
And I lay in Her arms all that long Spanish night

.. [Bm] | [Am] |

And We [G]travelled [C]toge[D]ther o'er m[G]ountain and v[D]alley
[G] And She by My [Bm]side through [C]many's the [D]fight
[G] She tended My [Bm]suffering and She [C]salved Me of [A]pity
[G] [C] [D] | [C] ..
And bore Me a daughter for My heart's delight

.. [Bm] | [Am] |

And We [G]marched into [C]Lis[D]bon [G]proud Wellington's [D]army
[G] The war being [Bm]over it's h[C]omeward We're [D]bound
[G] And all on the [Bm]quayside [C] - the weeping and w[A]ailing
[G] [C] [D] | [C] ,,
Four thousand women left on that cold ground

Fare[G]well and a[Bm]dieu [C] to You Spanish l[D]ady
[Am] Farewell and a[D]dieu to You [Am]ladies of [D]Spain
