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

Ohhhhhhhh

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

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