Verse 1:
F#m         A                  E  Esus4 E
This is the story of Bobby and June
F#m         A                      E
A boy and a girl who kidnapped the moon
B
But they fell in love
       A
To the sound of guns
F#m          A     E Esus4
The year was 1861

Verse 2:
F#m           A                  E     Esus4 E
The army came looking for men to recruit
F#m                   A                      E
Dressin’ boys up like soldiers in blue Union suits
B                                   A
Take this sword and cut down Johnny Reb They said
F#m                A                        E   Esus4 E
You’ll come back a hero or you’ll come back dead

Chorus:
Aadd9        Badd11
Stay with me Bobby
         Aadd9        Badd11
Don’t go away from me now
           Aadd9        Badd11
I want you say that you love me
         Aadd9        Badd11
Don’t go away from me now
              E   Esus4 E
I want you to stay
E  Esus4 E

Verse 3:
F#m          A                         E    Esus4 E
Now Bobby he marched to the eye of the storm
F#m                 A                           E
The blue coats were falling the blood was still warm
B                                      A
A battle was raging and the only thing in his eyes
F#m                    A                  E       Esus4 E
Was the thought of his June and making it home alive

Verse 4:
F#m         A                        E  Esus4 E
His army outnumbered they started to run
F#m             A                        E
When Bobby went down with the crack of a gun
B                                    A
And as he lay still his face sinking in the rain
F#m             A                    E        Esus4  E
He knew that he never and ever would see June again

Chorus:
Aadd9        Badd11
Stay with me Bobby
         Aadd9        Badd11
Don’t go away from me now
           Aadd9        Badd11
I want you say that you love me
         Aadd9        Badd11
Don’t go away from me now
              E   Esus4 E
I want you to stay
E Esus4 E

Verse 5:
F#m                   A                           E    Esus4 E
It was the morning of Christmas when June heard a sound
F#m        A                                E
Of someone approaching their boots scraping on the ground
B                                              A
As she looked out the window her heart pounded in her breast
F#m            A                     E     Esus4  E
A broken young Bobby was clutching a wounded chest

Bridge:
C#m
She ran out to help ease his pain
A
He looked up and whispered her name
C#m                                          A
Then she cradled his head in her arms and he smiled
B
When he heard his June say

Chorus:
Aadd9        Badd11
Stay with me Bobby
         Aadd9        Badd11
Don’t go away from me now
           Aadd9        Badd11
I want you say that you love me
         Aadd9        Badd11
Don’t go away from me now
              E   Esus4 E
I want you to stay
E Esus4 E
              E   Esus4 E
I want you to stay
