would like to add these lyrics to the DT but do not know the procedure. Perhaps someone can do this.

A SOLDIER BOY

(D) A SOLDIER BOY ONCE BRAVE WAS (A7) HE
WAS COURTING IN (D) SOCIETY
AND THIS YOUNG (D7) SOLDIER SO THEY (G) SAY
(D) ONCE LED A PRETTY (A7) GIRL (D) ASTRAY

(D) IT WAS WHEN HER APRON STRINGS HUNG (A7) LOW
HE COURTED HER THROUGH RAIN AND (D) SNOW
AND WHEN HER STRINGS (D7) THEY WOULD NOT (G) MEET
HE USED TO (D) PASS (A7) HER ON THE (D) STREET

(D) HER FATHER CAME HOME LATE ONE (A7)
AND FOUND HIS HOME WITHOUT A (D) LIGHT
HE WENT (D7) INTO HIS DAUGHTER'S (G) ROOM
HE FOUND HER (D7) HAN (A7) ING BY A (D) ROPE

(D) HE TOOK HIS KNIFE AND CUT HER (A7) DOWN
PINNED ON HER BREAST THIS NOTE HE (D) FOUND
I WISH MY (D7) BABY HAD BEEN (G) BORN
(D) BEFORE THIS (A7) TROUBLE HAD (D) BEGUN

(D) SO DIG MY GRAVE AND DIG IT (A7) DEEP
AND PLACE WHITE LILIES AT MY (D) FEET
NOW ALL YOU (A7) SOLDIERS BEAR IN (G) MIND
(D) THAT A GIRL'S TRUE LOVE (A7) IS HARD TO FIND

(D) BUT WHEN YOU FIND ONE GOOD AND (A7) TRUE
NEVER CHANGE THE OLD ONE FOR THE (D) NEW
(D)WHEN YOU (D7) FIND (A7) ONE GOOD AND (D) TRUE

(D) NO NEVER (D7) CHANGE THE OLD ONE FOR THE (G) NEW
(D) WHEN YOU FIND (A7) ONE GOOD AND (D) TRUE.
