[Verse]
[Em] You'll take my life but I'll take yours too[D]
[Em] You'll fire your musket but I'll run you throug[D]h
[C] So when you're waiting for the next attack[D]
[Em] You'd better stand there's no turning back[D].
[Em] The Bugle sounds and the charge begins[D]
[Em] But on this battlefield no one wins[D]
[C] The smell of acrid smoke and horses breath[D]
[Em] As I plunge on into certain death.

[Verse]
[Em] The horse he sweats with fear we break to run[D]
[Em] The mighty roar of the Russian guns[D]
[C] And as we race towards the human wall[D]
[Em] The screams of pain as my comrades fal[D]l.
[Em] We hurdle bodies that lay on the ground[D]
[Em] And the Russians fire another round[D]
[C] We get so near yet so far away[D]
[Em] We won't live to fight another day.
[Cborus]
[D]Ohhhhhh[Em]hh
[D]Ohhhhhh[Em]hh[D]

[Em] We get so close near enough to fight[D]
[Em] When a Russian gets me in his sights[D]
[C] He pulls the trigger and I feel the blow[D]
[Em] A burst of rounds take my horse below.[D]
[Em] And as I lay there gazing at the sky[D]
[Em] My body's numb and my throat is dry[D]
[C] And as I lay forgotten and alone[D]
[Em] Without a tear I draw my parting groan.
[Cborus]
[D]Ohhhhhh[Em]hh
[D]Ohhhhhh[Em]hh[D]
