G: 3x003x
[Verse]
A G
You'll take my life but I'll take yours too
A G
You'll fire your musket but I'll run you through
F G
So when you're waiting for the next attack
A G
You'd better stand, there's no turning back
A G
The bugle sounds the charge begins
A G
But on this battlefield no one wins
F G
The smell of acrid smoke and horses breath
A
As I plunge on into certain death
[Chorus]
G A
Ooooooooh
G A
Ooooooooh
[Verse]
A G
The horse he sweats with fear, we break to run
A G
The mighty roar of the Russian guns
F G
And as we race towards the human wall
A G
The scream of pain as my comrades fall
A G
We hurdle bodies that lay on the ground
A G
And the Russians fire another round
F G
We get so near yet so far away
A G
We won't live to fight another day
[Chorus]
G A
Ooooooooh
G A
Ooooooooh
[Verse]
A G
We get so close near enough to fight
A G
When a Russian gets me in his sights
F G
He pulls the trigger and I feel the blow
A G
A burst of rounds take my horse below
A G
And as I lay there gazing at the sky
A G
My body's numb and my throat is dry
F G
And as I lay forgotten and alone
A G
Without a tear I draw my parting groan
[Chorus]
G A
Ooooooooh
G A
Ooooooooh
