Gm F
You'll take my life but I'll take yours too
Gm F
You'll fire your musket but I'll run you through
D# F
So when you're waiting for the next attack
Gm F
You'd better stand there's no turning back.
Gm F
The Bugle sounds and the charge begins
Gm F
But on this battlefield no one wins
D# F
The smell of acrid smoke and horses breath
Gm
As I plunge on into certain death.
[Chorus]

Ohhhhhhhh

Gm F
The horse he sweats with fear we break to run
Gm F
The mighty roar of the Russian guns
D# F
And as we race towards the human wall
Gm F
The screams of pain as my comrades fall.
Gm F
We hurdle bodies that lay on the ground
Gm F
And the Russians fire another round
D# F
We get so near yet so far away
Gm
We won't live to fight another day.
[Chorus]

Ohhhhhhhh

Gm F
We get so close near enough to fight
Gm F
When a Russian gets me in his sights
D# F
He pulls the trigger and I feel the blow
Gm F
A burst of rounds take my horse below.
Gm F
And as I lay there gazing at the sky
Gm F
My body's numb and my throat is dry
D# F
And as I lay forgotten and alone
Gm
Without a tear I draw my parting groan.
[Chorus]

Ohhhhhhhh
