My Love's In Germany Lyrics And Chords

MY LOVE'S IN GERMANIE / Germany Lyrics And Guitar Chords 4/4 (traditional) Lyrics and chords as used by Silly Wizard who recorded the old folk song If I Was A Blackbird . use capo on 2nd fret. This song is based on a poem by Hector MacNeill from Scotland in 1794, the title of the poem was ''My Love's In Germanie'' and I'm sure the song's title is ''My Love's In Germany''. 
I suppose you could call it an anti war song or even a love song, while the king or queen of England got involved or started many wars throughout the past centuries the young men from Scotland were sent abroad to fight for England in wars that meant absolutely nothing to them.

Chorus
My (Em)love's in Germanie, send him (G)hame, send him (D)hame
My (Em)love's in Germanie, send him hame
My (G)love's in Germanie, fighting (D)brave for royalty
He may (Em)ne'er his Jeannie see, send him (G)hame, send him (D)hame
He may (Em)ne'er his Jeannie see, send him hame.

 He's as (Em)brave as brave can be, send him (G)hame, send him (D)hame
He's as(Em)brave as brave can be, send him hame
He's as (G)brave as brave can be, he would (D)rather fa' than flee
But his (Em)life’s sae dear to me, send him (G)hame, send him (D)hame
For his (Em)life’s sae dear to me, send him hame.

 Chorus

 Our (Em)foes are ten tae three, send him (G)hame, send him (D)hame
Our (Em)foes are ten tae three, send him hame
Our (G)foes are ten tae three, he would (D)rather fa' than flee
But his (Em)life’s sae dear to me, send him (G)hame, send him (D)hame
For his (Em)life’s sae dear to me, send him hame.
Chorus twice

 He'll (Em)ne'er come o’er the sea, Wullie's (G)slain, Wullie's (D)slain
He'll (Em)ne'er come o’er the sea, Wullie's slain 
He may (G)ne'er come o'er the sea, tae his (D)love and ain countrie
This (Em)life's nae mair for me, Wullie's (G)slain, Wullie's (D)slain
This (Em)life's nae mair for me, Wullie's slain.
