G:  3x003x

[Verse]
A                                           GYou'll take my life but I'll take yours too
A                                                GYou'll fire your musket but I'll run you through
F                                          GSo when you're waiting for the next attack
A                                           GYou'd better stand, there's no turning back

A                                  GThe bugle sounds the charge begins
A                                   GBut on this battlefield no one wins
F                                          GThe smell of acrid smoke and horses breath
AAs I plunge on into certain death

[Chorus]
G       AOoooooooh
G       AOoooooooh

[Verse]
A                                              GThe horse he sweats with fear, we break to run
A                                   GThe mighty roar of the Russian guns
F                                     GAnd as we race towards the human wall
A                                      GThe scream of pain as my comrades fall

A                                       GWe hurdle bodies that lay on the ground
A                                   GAnd the Russians fire another round
F                              GWe get so near yet so far away
A                                  GWe won't live to fight another day

[Chorus]
G       AOoooooooh
G       AOoooooooh

[Verse]
A                                    GWe get so close near enough to fight
A                                    GWhen a Russian gets me in his sights
F                                        GHe pulls the trigger and I feel the blow
A                                     GA burst of rounds take my horse below

A                                    GAnd as I lay there gazing at the sky
A                                   GMy body's numb and my throat is dry
F                                GAnd as I lay forgotten and alone
A                                      GWithout a tear I draw my parting groan

[Chorus]
G       AOoooooooh
G       AOoooooooh
