"Spanish Bride" - John Tams - Unity - 2000
      Transcribed by wranglingoutlaw

Cm/A - X05543 

G                    C
 O'er the hills and o'er the main
G                     C
 Through Flanders, Portugal and Spain
G                         C
 King George commands and we obey
G             Cm/A         D
 Over the hills   and far away

       G             C  D     G               D         
And we sailed out of England bound for Lisbon harbour
G                  Bm         C             D
 With bayonets a-gleaming and pride to the fore
G               Bm            C             A
 We'd little to hope but we tried hard to cherish
G                     C         D            | C ..
 The thoughts of Our loved ones  on England's fair shore..

..  Bm | Am | 
| C Bm | Am |

G            C       D           G            D
Soon We were transported through hell and its fury
G                          Bm            C                D
 Through smoke and through fire, through shot and through flame
G           Bm      C             A  
 And at Telavera We stole Boney's Eagle
G                  C            D    | C ..
 And in that short time We were heroes of Spain

..  Bm | Am |
| C Bm | Am |

      G          C  D    G                  D
And I met with a maiden  hair black as the raven
G                  Bm           C            D                
 Her eyes they did glister like two diamonds bright
G               Bm          C          A     
 We spoke not a word at Our very first meeting
G                 C        D        | C ..
 And I lay in Her arms all that long Spanish night

..  Bm | Am |
| C Bm | Am |

       G         C   D          G            D
And We travelled together o'er mountain and valley
G              Bm           C          D
 And She by My side through many's the fight
G              Bm                C            A
 She tended My suffering and She salved Me of pity
G              C       D       | C ..
 And bore Me a daughter  for My heart's delight

..  Bm | Am |
| C Bm | Am |

       G            C  D    G                  D
And We marched into Lisbon  proud Wellington's army
G              Bm         C             D
 The war being over it's homeward We're bound
G               Bm       C                  A     
 And all on the quayside - the weeping and wailing
G              C          D | C ,,
 Four thousand women left on that cold ground

..  Bm | Am |
| C Bm | Am |

    G         Bm   C                 D
Farewell and adieu   to You Spanish lady
Am             D             Am        D
 Farewell and adieu   to You ladies of Spain
G              Bm          C                 D
 For We've recieved orders   to sail home to England
       G            C           D          C
But I know in some time We'll return once again..

     D
Once..  again..
     C
Once..  again..
     D
Once..  again..

       G        C    D               G             D
And if ever I'm returning it's with gold in great plenty
G           Bm             C              D  
 And if I return it's with gold in great store
G                    Bm        C          A
 I'll search far and wide  for My Spanish lady
G                    C            D            | C ..
 Who brought Me such peace in the midst of such war

..  Bm | Am |
| C Bm | Am |

    G         Bm   C                 D
Farewell and adieu   to You Spanish lady
Am             D             Am        D
 Farewell and adieu   to You ladies of Spain
G             Bm           C                 D
 For We've recieved orders   to sail home to England
       G            C           D          C
But I know in some time We'll return once again..

    G         Bm   C                 D
Farewell and adieu   to You Spanish lady
Am             D             Am        D
 Farewell and adieu   to You ladies of Spain
G            Bm               C             D
 For We've recieved orders to sail home to England
       G            C           D          C
But I know in some time We'll return once again..
