by Tim O'Brien, as recorded with Kathy Mattea
charted by Bo Frazer 
-------------------------------------------
Verse1:
       A
I will pledge my heart to the love we share
                         E          A
Through the good and the bad times, too.

I'll forsake my rest for your happiness
                   E        A
To my death I will stand by you.


CHorus1:
   D                       A
As God is my witness, this vow I will make
                                     E
To have and to hold you, no other to take
    A                                     D
For rich or for poor, under skies grey or blue
      A            E        A
To my death I will stand by you.


Verse2:
          A
There are wars and there are rumours of wars yet to come
                  E            A
Temptations we'll have to pass through

Though others may tremble, I will not run
                   E        A
To my death I will stand by you.

Chorus2:
       D                    A
I will put on the armour of faithfullness
                             E
To fight for a heart that is true
         A                         D
Till the battle is won, I will not run
      A            E        A
To my death I will stand by you.

[repeat chorus1]

         A                         D
Till the battle is won, I will not run

To my death I will stand by you.
