I'm a beginner but I really like the song and used a kind of trial-and-error method to find out what chords work (for me!) to sing the song to, I do NOT expect all this to correspond to the chords used in the song. Capo on 6th fret will make it the same pitch as KR&KR. Feel free to improve it :)

G          Em    G       C       G          Am    D7
My love's a tall & handsome man, the best you'll see:
G          Am         Em    G    Am    D       G
he's gone away to the plantations    to pick coffee.
    C         G       C          G       C       Am         D7
The recruiter says he won't come back & I need no longer bide.
       G       D       G      Em   C         D7    G
But I'm waiting here until the day    of the lorry ride.


   C       G       C          G      C    Am    D7
My days are hard, my nights are long & I am so alone.
         G       D               G    Em   C      D7       G
But I'll dream a dream that will never end    till he comes home.


G             Em       G       C       G         Am    D7
The recruiter said the odds are low, the work's so hard,
       G         Am          Em       G      Am    D          G
And he won't get through the long hard night,    the hours after dark,
         C      G            C          G            C       Am         D7
And that in the fields he'll breath the fumes of the death insecticide
    G    D       G       Em   C       D7    G
And even still he won't survive    the lorry ride.


   C       G       C          G      C    Am    D7
My days are hard, my nights are long & I am so alone.
         G       D               G    Em   C      D7       G
But I'll dream a dream that will never end    till he comes home.


G               Em    G          C    G         Am    D7
Oh my love must work a twelve hour day beneath the sun
         G       Am       Em         G      Am          D         G
And he's working there for three long months -    that's when he's done.
          C       G      C    G         C       Am             D7
And he'll sleep beside a dying man who's weeping from the burns.
G       D          G    Em    C      D7   G
I fear my love won't be so young    when he returns.


   C       G       C          G      C    Am    D7
My days are hard, my nights are long & I am so alone.
         G       D               G    Em   C      D7       G
But I'll dream a dream that will never end    till he comes home.
