Em Em D D Em Em D D C C D D Em Em

D D Em Em
You'll take my life but I'll take yours too
D D Em Em
You'll fire your musket but I'll run you through
D D C C
So when you're waiting for the next attack
D D Em Em
You'd better stand, there's no turning back

D D Em Em
The bugle sounds the charge begins
D D Em Em
But on this battlefield no one wins
D D C C
The smell of acrid smoke and horses breath
D D Em Em
As I plunge on into certain death

D D Em Em
Ooooooooh
D D Em Em
Ooooooooh

D D Em Em
The horse he sweats with fear, we break to run
D D Em Em
The mighty roar of the Russian guns
D D C C
And as we race towards the human wall
D D Em Em
The scream of pain as my comrades fall

D D Em Em
We hurdle bodies that lay on the ground
D D Em Em
And the Russians fire another round
D D C C
We get so near yet so far away
C C D D
We won't live to fight another day

D D Em Em
Ooooooooh
D D Em Em
Ooooooooh

Em Em D D Bm Bm C C D D

Am Am G G Em Em F F G G

Em Em D D Em Em D D C C C C D D

D D Em Em
We get so close near enough to fight
D D Em Em
When a Russian gets me in his sights
D D C C
He pulls the trigger and I feel the blow
C C D D
A A burst of rounds take my horse below

D D Em Em
And as I lay there gazing at the sky
D D Em Em
My body's numb and my throat is dry
D D C C
And as I lay forgotten and alone
D D Em Em
Without a tear I draw my parting groan

D D Em Em
Ooooooooh
D D Em Em
Ooooooooh

Em Em D D Em Em D D Em Em

# Enjoy! :D
