Written by Stephen Percy Harris
Intro: Em D C D (3x) Em D You'll take my life but i'll take yours too Em D You'll fire your musket but i'll run you through C D So when you're waiting for the next attack Em D You'd better stand there's no turning back. Em D The bugle sounds and the charge begins Em D But on this battlefield no one wins C D The smell of acrid smoke and horses breath Em D As i plunge on into certain death. D Em Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh D Em (Em D C D)2x Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh Em D The horse he sweats with fear we break to run Em D The mighty roar of the russian guns C D And as we race towards the human wall Em D The screams of pain as my comrades fall Em D We hurdle bodies that lay on the ground Em D And the russians fire another round C D We get so near yet so far away Em D We won't live to fight another day. Em D We get so close near enough to fight Em D When a russian gets me in his sights C D He pulls the trigger and i feel the blow Em D A burst of rounds take my horse below. Em D And as i lay there gazing at the sky Em D My body's numb and my throat is dry C D And as i lay forgotten and alone Em D Without a tear i draw my parting groan D Em Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh D Em (Em D C D) Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
