When I Was on Horseback Steeleye Span
When [Am]I was on horseback, w[G]asn't I pretty
When [Am]I was on horseback, w[C]asn't I [Am]gay
Wasn't I pretty when I entered Cork [C]city
And met with my d[G]ownfall on the fourteenth of [Am]may
S[Am]ix jolly soldiers to c[G]arry my coffin
S[Am]ix jolly soldiers to m[C]arch by my [Am]side
It's six jolly soldiers take a b[C]unch of red [Am]roses
A[C]nd for to s[G]mell them as [Em]we go al[Am]ong
Beat the drum slowly and play the pipes only
Playing the deadmarch as we go along
And bring me to Tipperary and lay me down easy
I am a young soldier that've never done wrong
Instrumental break
Repeat first verse
