Verse 1:

Em           G
 This is the story,
             D    Dsus4  D
Of Bobby and June.
Em           G
 A boy and a girl,
                  D
Who kidnapped the moon.

A
 But they fell in love,
       G
To the sound of guns,
Em            G
 The year was Eighteen,
      D    Dsus4  D
Sixty One.

Verse 2:

Em             G
 The army came looking,
              D     Dsus4  D
For men to re-cruit.
Em
 Dressin' boys up,
     G
Like soldiers,
              D     Dsus4  D
In blue Union suits.

A
 Take this sword and cut down,
       G
Johnny Reb, they said.
Em                  G
 You'll come back a hero,
                    D    Dsus4  D
Or you'll come back dead.

Chorus 1:

G/D           A/D
 Stay with me Bobby,
           G/D         A/D
Don't go a-way from me now.
           G/D          A/D
I want you say that you love me,

Verse 3:

Em            G
 Now Bobby he marched,
                  D     Dsus4  D
To the eye of the storm,
Em
 The blue coats,
     G
Were falling,
                    D     Dsus4  D
The blood was still warm.

A
 A battle was raging,
And the only thing,
G
 In his eyes,
Em                      G
 Was the thought of his June,
              Dsus4  D
And making it home a-live.

Verse 4:
[ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/m/misc-soundtrack/63547.html ]
Em            G
 His army out-numbered,
                D   Dsus4  D
They started to run.
Em               G
 When Bobby went down,
                    D    Dsus4  D
With the crack of a gun.

A
 And as he lay still,
His face sinking,
G
 In the rain,
Em               G
 He knew that he never,
               Dsus4       D
And ever would see, June a-gain.

Chorus 2:

G/D           A/D
 Stay with me Bobby,
           G/D         A/D
Don't go a-way from me now.
           G/D          A/D
I want you say that you love me,
           G/D         A/D
Don't go a-way from me now.
  G/A         D
I want you to stay.

Verse 5:

Em
 It was the morning,
   G
Of Christmas,
                  D      Dsus4  D
When June heard a sound,
Em             G
 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;

Chorus 3:

G/D           A/D
 Stay with me Bobby,
           G/D         A/D
Don't go a-way from me now.
           G/D          A/D
I want you say that you love me,
           G/D         A/D
Don't go a-way from me now.
  G/A         D
I want you to stay.
