But not / one i[C]n ten / thousand [F]knows your / name. / / [C]
To / say[C] the name, Mac - / donnell, [Am]
It would / bring [F]no bugle / call, [C]

When they / saw the G[F]eneral / fall. [G]
Twas Mac- / donnell ra[C]ised the / banner then, and [Am]

You / brou[G]ght the field all / standing
With your / courage[F] and your / luck, [C]
But un- / known[C] to most, you're / lying there [Am]
Be - / sid[F]e old General / Brock. [G]
So you know / what it is [C]to / scale the Heigh[Am]ts, and
[F]Fall just short of / fame, a[Am]nd
Have not / one in [C]ten / thousand kno[F]w your / name. / / [C]
