Key: C Verse 1: C Too thin the line that charged the Heights F And scrambled in the clay C Too thin the Eastern Township Scot G Who showed them all the way Em And perhaps had you not fallen F C Dm You might be what Brock became C G C But not one in ten thousand knows your name Verse 1: C To say the name, MacDonnell F It would bring no bugle call C But the Redcoats stayed beside you G When they saw the General fall Em Twas MacDonnell raised the banner then F C Dm And set the Heights aflame C G C But not one in ten thousand knows your name
Chorus: G You brought the field all standing F C With your courage and your luck Em But unknown to most, you’re lying there Dm G Beside old General Brock C So you know what it is to scale the Heights F C Dm And fall just short of fame C G C And have not one in ten thousand know your name Verse 1: C At Queenston now, the General F on his tower stands alone C And there’s lichen on ‘MacDonnell’ G carved upon that weathered stone Em In a corner of the monument F C Dm to glory you could claim C G C But not one in ten thousand knows your name Chorus: G You brought the field all standing F C With your courage and your luck Em But unknown to most, you’re lying there Dm G Beside old General Brock C So you know what it is to scale the Heights F C Dm And fall just short of fame C G C And have not one in ten thousand know your name
