Capo 4
E D E
Youll take my life but ill take yours too
E D C
Youll fire your musket but ill run you through
C D E
So when youre waiting for the next attack
E D E
Youd better stand theres no turning back.
E D E
The bugle sounds and the charge begins
E D C
But on this battlefield no one wins
C D E
The smell of acrid smoke and horses breath
E
As i plunge on into certain death.
D E
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
D E
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
D E
E D E
The horse he sweats with fear we break to run
E D C
The mighty roar of the russian guns
C D E
And as we race towards the human wall
E D E
The screams of pain as my comrades fall
E D E
We hurdle bodies that lay on the ground
E D C
And the russians fire another round
C D E
We get so near yet so far away
E
We wont live to fight another day.
D E
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
D E
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
E D E
We get so close near enough to fight
E D C
When a russian gets me in his sights
C D E
He pulls the trigger and i feel the blow
E D E
A burst of rounds take my horse below.
E D E
And as i lay there gazing at the sky
E D C
My bodys numb and my throat is dry
C D E
And as i lay forgotten and alone
E
Without a tear i draw my parting groan
D E
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
D E
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
