The Trooper Tabulatur von Iron Maiden

Em D Em D C D Em

D Em
You'll take my life but I'll take yours too
D Em
You'll fire your musket but I'll run you through
D 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 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

D      Em
Ooooooooh
D      Em
Ooooooooh

D 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 scream of pain as my comrades fall

D 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
C D
We won't live to fight another day

D      Em
Ooooooooh
D      Em
Ooooooooh

Em D Bm C D

Am G Em F G

Em D Em D C C D

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
C D
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

D      Em
Ooooooooh
D      Em
Ooooooooh

Em D Em D Em
