[Verse]
F#m                                           E
  You'll take my life but I'll take yours too
F#m                                               E
  You'll fire your musket but I'll run you through
D                                           E
  So when you're waiting for the next attack
F#m                                          E
  You'd better stand there's no turning back.

F#m                                           E
  The Bugle sounds and the charge begins
F#m                                           E
  But on this battlefield no one wins
D                                            E
  The smell of acrid smoke and horses breath
F#m
  As I plunge on into certain death.


[Chorus]
E      F#m
Ohhhhhhhh
E      F#m E
Ohhhhhhhh

[Verse]
F#m                                              E
   The horse he sweats with fear we break to run
F#m                                       E
   The mighty roar of the Russian guns
D                                       E
   And as we race towards the human wall
F#m                                       E
   The screams of pain as my comrades fall.

F#m                                       E
  We hurdle bodies that lay on the ground
F#m                                       E
  And the Russians fire another round
D                                     E
  We get so near yet so far away
F#m
  We won't live to fight another day.


[Chorus]
E      F#m
Ohhhhhhhh
E      F#m E
Ohhhhhhhh

[Verse]
F#m                                       E
  We get so close near enough to fight
F#m                                       E
  When a Russian gets me in his sights
D                                          E
  He pulls the trigger and I feel the blow
F#m                                       E
  A burst of rounds take my horse below.

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


[Chorus]
E      F#m
Ohhhhhhhh
E      F#m E
Ohhhhhhhh
