Intro: Dm  F6  A7   
 
Dm                F6             Bb   
There's a cottage in the village in the country 
A7                 Dm     
I have learned to love 
Dm                  F6         
And every night the curfew rings  
    Bb                A7                 Dm 
And people sing their prayers to heaven above 
 

C                    F6        
In the cottage there lives a girl 
      G          Bb        
Who's crying for she can see 
C                  F6 
Soldiers marching away to war 
        G           Bb  A7    
They're fighting to be free 
 
Chorus: 
D               A7            G 
Maria Elena I'm going away to war 
    F                C                G    G7   
I'm going to fight I may not be back again 
D             A7          G 
Maria Elena I love you forever more 
       F                       C                G 
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)
