      Gm                     Eb5
As an archduke falls and the battle horn calls
    F5                       Gm
Our lives would never be the same
        Bb5              C5          Gm  F5
We were looking down the barrel of a gun
        Gm                        Eb5
Now the war has come and the battle has begun
       F5                Gm
We are desperate and overrun
       Bb5               C5                  Gm   F5
To the war drum we’ll be marching until it’s done

  Lead the way, we will follow into the fray

 For king and for country we, are flooding the river
Gm                       Eb5               Bb5
 Our stand at Yser will be, the end of the race to the sea
Gm                                Bb5               F5
 The last piece of Belgium is free, we’re keeping a sliver

 A cog in the war machine
October of 1914

🤘 Verse 2:

       Gm                     Eb5
As our foe draws forth we are moving on north
        F5                     Gm
We will never let them have it all
          Bb5               C5                Gm   F5
There’s a price for freedom paid by Belgium’s sons
         Bb5                      F5
They may take our towns, they may conquer our grounds
        Eb5                     F5
We’ll defend the nation and the crown
        Gm           Eb5             F5    D5
We’ll uphold our independence with our guns
Eb5         F5        D5                      Gm  F5
   All the way, on to triumph or to judgement day
        Eb5                 F5          D5   D5 C5 Bb5 Am
We will follow and we will not be led astray
