(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
REPEAT 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
REPEAT 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
REPEAT 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
G (PM) (until end)
