'Two Soldiers' by Jerry Garcia - Guitar Tutorial

             D                       C
He was just a blue-eyed Boston boy 
                        G
His voice was low with pain 
      D               C  
I'll do your bidding comrade mine 
                 G
If I ride back again 
        D                 G
But if you ride back and I am left 
     D
You do as much for me 
 D                      C 
Mother, you know, must hear the news 
                       G
So write to her tenderly 
 
She's waiting at home like a patient saint 
Her fond face pale with woe 
Her heart will be broken when I am gone 
I'll see her soon I know 
Just then the order came to charge 
For an instant hand touched hand 
They said "aye" and away they rode 
That brave and devoted band 
 
Straight was the track to the top of the hill 
The rebels they shot and shelled 
Ploughed furoughs of death through the toiling ranks 
And guarded them as they fell 
There soon came a horrible dying yell 
From heights they could not gain 
And those that doom and death had spared 
Rode slowly down again 
 
But among the dead that were left on the hill 
Was the boy with the curly hair 
The tall dark man that rode by his side 
Lay dead beside him there 
There's no one to write to the blue-eyed girl 
The words her lover had said 
Mom, you know, awaits the news 
She'll only know he's dead
