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

Ohhhhhhhh

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

Ohhhhhhhh

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

Ohhhhhhhh
