Tab By: Adam Bishop

INTRO: G (palm muted)

[G]Two recruiting sargeants came [C]to the CL[Em]B
For the [C]sons of the [D]merchants to [G]join the Blue Put[D]tees
So [C]all hands en[D]listed, [G]500 young [Em]men
Enlist you Newfound[C]landers and [D]come follow [G]me
INTRO

They [G]crossed the broad Atlantic in the [C]brave Flori[Em]zel
[C]On the sands of [D]Suvla they [G]entered into [D]hell
And [C]on those bloody [D]beaches the [G]first of them [Em]fell
Enlist you Newfound[C]landers and [D]come follow [G]me

CHORUS:
And it's [G]over the mountains and [C]over the [Em]sea
Come [C]brave Newfound[D]landers and [G]join the Blue Put[D]tees
We'll [C]fight the Hun in [D]Flanders and [G]at Gallipo[Em]li
Enlist you Newfound[C]landers and [D]come follow [G]me

INTRO

The [G]call came from London for the [C]last July [Em]drive
To the [C]trenches with the [D]regiments, pre[G]pare yourselves to [D]die
The [C]roll call next [D]morning, just a [G]handful sur[Em]vived
Enlist you Newfound[C]landers and [D]come follow [G]me

CHORUS

INTRO

The [G]stone men on Water Street still [C]cry for the [Em]day
When the [C]pride of the [D]city went [G]marching a[D]way
A [C]thousand men [D]slaughtered, to [G]hear the King [Em]say
Enlist you Newfound[C]landers and [D]come follow [G]me

CHORUS (x2 - second time, no guitar on first two lines)

En[Em]list you Newfound[C]landers and [D]come follow [G]me
