Intro: D5  F5  A5   
 
D5                F5             Bb5   
There's a cottage in the village in the country 
A5                 D5     
I have learned to love 
D5                  F5         
And every night the curfew rings  
    Bb5                A5                 D5 
And people sing their prayers to heaven above 
 

C5                    F5        
In the cottage there lives a girl 
      G5          Bb5        
Who's crying for she can see 
C5                  F5 
Soldiers marching away to war 
        G5           Bb5  A5    
They're fighting to be free 
 
Chorus: 
D5               A5            G5 
Maria Elena I'm going away to war 
    F5                C5                G5    G5   
I'm going to fight I may not be back again 
D5             A5          G5 
Maria Elena I love you forever more 
       F5                       C5                G5 
Please say it's alright you'll stay by my side 'till dawn 
 
I remember moonlit nights 
And dancing in the streets 'till break of day 
Yes I remember how it was 
No one would separate us come what may 
 
Like a dream it dissolves away 
And morning will soon be here 
Revolution has come our way 
I'm warning you now dear 
 
Chorus (2X fading on 2nd)
