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

Bm                                           A
  The Bugle sounds and the charge begins
Bm                                           A
  But on this battlefield no one wins
G                                            A
  The smell of acrid smoke and horses breath
Bm
  As I plunge on into certain death.

Ohhhhhhhh

[Verse]
Bm                                              A
   The horse he sweats with fear we break to run
Bm                                       A
   The mighty roar of the Russian guns
G                                       A
   And as we race towards the human wall
Bm                                       A
   The screams of pain as my comrades fall.

Bm                                       A
  We hurdle bodies that lay on the ground
Bm                                       A
  And the Russians fire another round
G                                     A
  We get so near yet so far away
Bm
  We won't live to fight another day.


[Chorus]

Ohhhhhhhh

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

Bm                                       A
  And as I lay there gazing at the sky
Bm                                       A
  My body's numb and my throat is dry
G                                      A
  And as I lay forgotten and alone
Bm
  Without a tear I draw my parting groan.


[Chorus]
A      Bm
Ohhhhhhhh
A      Bm A
Ohhhhhhhh
