Rebel Soldier

Am                    Em             Am
Oh Polly Oh Polly its for your sake alone,
       Am
I have left my old Father, my Country, my home
Am
I have left my old Mother to weep and to mourn
  Am         Dm                    G  Am
I am a rebel soldier, and far from my home

[Verse 2]
    Am                            Em             Am
The grape shot and musket and the cannons lumber lie
    Am
Its many a mangled body the blanket for the shroud
    Am
Its many a mangled body left on the fields alone
  Am         Dm                   G  Am
I am a rebel soldier and far from my home

[Instrumental]
Am Em Am G Am

[Verse 3]
Am                               Em             Am
Here is a good old cup of brandy and a glass of wine
        Am
You can drink to your true love and I will drink to mine
        Am
You can drink to your true love and I will lament and moan
  Am         Dm          Am       G  Am
I am a rebel soldier and far from my home

[Verse 4]
Am                          Em                  Am
I will build me a castle on some green mountain high
      Am
Where I can see Polly when she is passing by
      Am
Where I can see Polly and help her to mourn
  Am         Dm          Am       G    Am
I am a rebel soldier and far from my...home
