His army out-numbered,

In the rain,

It was the morning,

Of Christmas,

When June heard a sound,

Of someone ap-proaching,
Their boots scraping,
D Dsus4 D
On the ground.
A
As she looked out the window,
Her heart pounded,
G
In her breast,
Em G
A broken young Bobby,
Was clutching,
Dsus4 D
A wounded chest.
Break:
Bm
She ran out to help,
Ease his pain.
G
He looked up,
And whispered her name.
Bm
Then she cradled his head,
G
In her arms and he smiled,
A
When he heard his June say;
