Just so no one gets mad at me this is all tabbed out by ear and is not 100%
correct but it will get you going in a pinch. Also this song is very band
based and not usually played with just one guitar but for those who would
like to give it a shot like myself here s what I got:
Standard Tuning
No Capo
Use Bar Chords
All quiet on the western front
He s wondering why
He ain t got a letter
From his army bride
Well shes got a new lover
One who s right by her side
Just waiting on the call to hear
That her poor soldier died
She says the cotton
Would grow high
On his grave
But I hope the cotton
Does grow dry
For his sake
There was a pretty little girl with a pocket book
Who met a mean little man
She married him for love
But he proposed with a plan
See her daddy s got a whole lot of money
But Daddy s Little Girl can t swim
He s gonna take her to the lake real late tonight
and push her in
He says the cotton
Would grow high
On her grave
But I hope the cotton
Does grow dry
For her sake
You can have my life insurance
If you take me by the hand
Promise me that you ll really love me
Back for the right reasons
