The Ballad Of Bobby And June

D Dsus4 D (2x) Em G D Dsus4 D This is the story of Bobby and June. Em G D A boy and a girl who kidnapped the moon. A G But they fell in love to the sounds of guns, Em G D Dsus4 D The year was Eighteen Sixty One. Em G D Dsus4 D The army came looking for men to re-cruit. Em G D Dsus4 Dressin' boys up like soldiers in blue Union suits. A G Take this sword and cut down Johnny Reb, they said. Em G D Dsus4 D You'll come back a hero, or you'll come back dead. G A G A Stay with me Bobby; don't go a-way from me now. G A G A I want you say that you love me; don't go a-way from me now. G D I want you to stay. D Dsus4 D (2x) Em G D Dsus4 D Now Bobby he marched to the eye of the storm, Em G D The blue coats were falling; the blood was still warm. A G A battle was raging, and the only thing in his eyes, Em G Dsus4 D Was the thought of his June and making it home a-live. Em G D Dsus4 D His army out-numbered; they started to run. Em G D Dsus4 When Bobby went down with the crack of a gun. A G And as he lay still his face sinking in the rain, Em G Dsus4 D He knew that he never and ever would see, June a-gain. G A G A Stay with me Bobby; don't go a-way from me now. G A G A I want you say that you love me; don't go a-way from me now. G D I want you to stay. D Dsus4 D (2x) Em G D Dsus4 D It was the morning of Christmas when June heard a sound, Em G D Dsus4 Of someone ap-proaching, their boots scraping on the ground. A G As she looked out the window her heart pounded in, her breast, Em G Dsus4 D A broken young Bobby was clutching a wounded chest. Bm She ran out to help ease his pain. G He looked up and whispered her name. Bm G Then she cradled his head in her arms and he smiled, A When he heard his June say... G A G A Stay with me Bobby; don't go a-way from me now. G A G A I want you say that you love me; don't go a-way from me now. G D I want you to stay.
