[N] [B]
Come all ye [E] young maidens and hear [B] my sad tale
About a brave [F#] young trooper who sure did [B] fail
As he went [E] up in to the cloudy [B] sky
He sang a [F#] sad song on his way [B] to die
He sang my [E] love is far [B] far from me
Far [F#] beyond
[C#] the South [B] China Sea
[F#] I [B] left her [E] there with a tear in [B] her eye
[D#] For [B] I [F#] must go where brave [B] men die
Oh, oh, [E]
oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, [B] oh, oh
Yes I [F#] must go where brave [B] men die
As he went out of [E] the plane into the [B] stormy night
I [D#] saw the young [F#] trooper in a burst of [B] fiery light
[F#]
As [B] he fell through [E] the night his shoot [B] all in flame
A smile on [F#] his lips he cried out his [B] girl's name
We found the [E] young trooper no longer will he [F#] be sore
From [B] the great [F#] iron burden he'll jump no [B] more
His face was [E] pale as [B] purest milk
And we wrapped [F#] him round in parachute [B] silk
Oh, oh, [E] [B] oh, [E] oh, oh, oh, [B] oh, oh, oh
Yes we wrapped [F#] him round in parachute [B] silk
[F#] So [B] all ye [E] young maidens come listen [B] to me
[D#] Never love [F#] a paratrooper you'll never [B] be free
