I And (D)if I pass this way a gain, (G)you can rest as (D)sured I’ll al ways do my best for her, on (G)that I give my word.

In a (D)world of steel eyed it death and men who are (G)fight ing to be warm, “Come (D)in,” she said, “I’ll give you (G)shel ter from the (D)storm.”

Not a (D)word in was spoke be tween us, there and (G)lit tle risk in (D)volved.
