🤘 Verse:

E minorEm                      D MajorD
 You'll take my life but I'll take yours too
E minorEm                        D MajorD
 You'll fire your musket but I'll run you through
C majorC                      D MajorD
 So when you're waiting for the next attack
E minorEm                     D MajorD
 You'd better stand there's no turning back.

E minorEm                      D MajorD
 The Bugle sounds and the charge begins
E minorEm                      D MajorD
 But on this battlefield no one wins
C majorC                      D MajorD
 The smell of acrid smoke and horses breath
E minorEm
 As I plunge on into certain death.

🤘 Verse:

E minorEm                       D MajorD
  The horse he sweats with fear we break to run
E minorEm                    D MajorD
  The mighty roar of the Russian guns
C majorC                    D MajorD
  And as we race towards the human wall
E minorEm                    D MajorD
  The screams of pain as my comrades fall.

E minorEm                    D MajorD
 We hurdle bodies that lay on the ground
E minorEm                    D MajorD
 And the Russians fire another round
C majorC                   D MajorD
 We get so near yet so far away
E minorEm
 We won't live to fight another day.

🤘 Verse:

E minorEm                    D MajorD
 We get so close near enough to fight
E minorEm                    D MajorD
 When a Russian gets me in his sights
C majorC                     D MajorD
 He pulls the trigger and I feel the blow
E minorEm                    D MajorD
 A augmentedA burst of rounds take my horse below.

E minorEm                    D MajorD
 And as I lay there gazing at the sky
E minorEm                    D MajorD
 My body's numb and my throat is dry
C majorC                   D MajorD
 And as I lay forgotten and alone
E minorEm
 Without a tear I draw my parting groan.
