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

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

D baritone chordD Em baritone chordEm
Ooooooooh
D baritone chordD Em baritone chordEm
Ooooooooh

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

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

D baritone chordD Em baritone chordEm
Ooooooooh

Ooooooooh

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

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

D baritone chordD Em baritone chordEm
Ooooooooh
D baritone chordD Em baritone chordEm
Ooooooooh

About this song: The Trooper

"The Trooper" is a song written by Iron Maiden bass player Steve Harris. It is Iron Maiden's ninth single, and the second from their 1983 album Piece of Mind. The single was released on June 20, 1983. The song is about the Battle of Balaclava in 1854 during the Crimean War, and is at least partially based upon Alfred Lord Tennyson's poem "The Charge of the Light Brigade", taking the viewpoint of one of the slain troopers, who, in the coverart, is perceived as a bald Eddie.
