 This is the story of Bobby and June 
Em           G                      D 
 A boy and a girl who kidnapped the moon 
A                             G 
 But they fell in love to the sound of guns 
Em            G              D   Dsus  D           
 The year was Eighteen Sixty One 

Em             G                     D   Dsus  D   
 The army came looking for men to re-cruit 
Em                     G                      D   Dsus  D   
 Dressin' boys up like soldiers in blue Union suits 
A                                    G 
 Take this sword and cut down Johnny Reb, they said 
Em                  G                        D   Dsus  D  
 You'll come back a hero or you'll come back dead

Em            G                         D   Dsus  D 
 Now Bobby he marched to the eye of the storm 
Em                   G                           D   Dsus  D 
 The blue coats were falling the blood was still warm 
A                                       G 
 A battle was raging and the only thing in his eyes 
Em                      G                  Dsus   D 
 Was the thought of his June and making it home a-live 

Em           G                        D   Dsus  D 
 His army outnumbered they started to run 
Em               G                        D   Dsus  D 
 When Bobby went down with the crack of a gun 
A                                     G 
 And as he lay still his face sinking in the rain 
Em               G                    Dsus       D 
 He knew that he never and ever would see June a-gain

 It was the morning of Christmas when June heard a sound 
Em            G                                     D   Dsus  D 
 Of someone approaching their boots scraping on the ground 
A                                               G 
 As she looked out the window her heart pounded in her breast 
Em              G                     Dsus    D 
 A broken young Bobby was clutching a wounded chest 

Bridge 1: 

Bm                          
 She ran out to help ease his pain 
G 
 He looked up and whispered her name 
Bm                                            G 
 Then she cradled his head in her arms and he smiled 
        A 
When he heard his June say 

Chorus 3: 

G/D           A/D 
 Stay with me Bobby 
           G/D         A/D 
Don't go a-way from me now 
           G/D          A/D 
I want you say that you love me 
           G/D          A/D 
Don't go a-way from me now 
  G/A         D   Dsus  D,  D  Dsus  D D  Dsus  D 
I want you to stay
