Em D Em D C D Em D x2
Em D Em
You'll take my life but I'll take yours too
D C
You'll fire your musket but I'll run you through
D Em
So when you're waiting for the next attack
D Em
You'd better stand, there's no turning back
Em D Em
The bugle sounds, the charge begins
Em D C
But on this battlefield no one wins
C D Em
The smell of acrid smoke and horses breath
Em
As I plunge on into certain death
D Em
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
D Em
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
[Interlude/Break]
Em D Em D C C D D x2
Em D Em
The horse he sweats with fear, we break to run
Em D C
The mighty roar of the Russian guns
C D Em
And as we race towards the human wall
Em D Em
The screams of pain as my comrades fall
Em D Em
We hurdle bodies that lay on the ground
Em D C
And the Russians fire another round
C D Em
We get so near yet so far away
Em
We won't live to fight another day
D Em
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
D Em
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
[Interlude/Break]
Em D Em D C C D D x2
Em D Em
We get so close, near enough to fight
Em D C
When a Russian gets me in his sights
C D Em
He pulls the trigger and I feel the blow
Em D Em
A burst of rounds take my horse below
Em D Em
And as I lay there gazing at the sky
Em D C
My body's numb and my throat is dry
C D Em
And as I lay forgotten and alone
Em
Without a tear I draw my parting groan
D Em
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
D Em
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
