Chords with lyrics
Capo 4
E MajorE 
D MajorD
Youll take my life but ill take yours too
E MajorE D MajorD
Youll fire your musket but ill run you through
C majorC D MajorD
So when youre waiting for the next attack
E MajorE D MajorD
Youd better stand theres no turning back.
E MajorE D MajorD
The bugle sounds and the charge begins
E MajorE D MajorD
But on this battlefield no one wins
C majorC D MajorD
The smell of acrid smoke and horses breath
E MajorE D MajorD
As i plunge on into certain death.
D MajorD E MajorE
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
D MajorD E MajorE [ E MajorE D MajorD C majorC D MajorD ]2x
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
E MajorE D MajorD
The horse he sweats with fear we break to run
E MajorE D MajorD
The mighty roar of the russian guns
C majorC D MajorD
And as we race towards the human wall
E MajorE D MajorD
The screams of pain as my comrades fall
E MajorE D MajorD
We hurdle bodies that lay on the ground
E MajorE D MajorD
And the russians fire another round
C majorC D MajorD
We get so near yet so far away
E MajorE D MajorD
We wont live to fight another day.
E MajorE D MajorD
We get so close near enough to fight
E MajorE D MajorD
When a russian gets me in his sights
C majorC D MajorD
He pulls the trigger and i feel the blow
E MajorE D MajorD
A augmentedA burst of rounds take my horse below.
E MajorE D MajorD
And as i lay there gazing at the sky
E MajorE D MajorD
My bodys numb and my throat is dry
C majorC D MajorD
And as i lay forgotten and alone
E MajorE D MajorD
Without a tear i draw my parting groan
D MajorD E MajorE
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
D MajorD E MajorE [ E MajorE D MajorD C majorC D MajorD ]
