O the [C]sun in the [C]West it was [G]sink-[Am]ing for the [C]eve of a [Am]cold winters [F]day, [F]
When the [C]Tans who were [C]eagerly (sic: ap)'[G]proch-[Am]ing sailed [C]into the [G]spot where we [C]lay [C]
Then [C]over the [G]hills went the[Am] e-[Am]cho the [C]peal of the [G]rifle and [Am]gun [Am]
