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.
[Chorus]

Ohhhhhhhh

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

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]

Ohhhhhhhh

Ohhhhhhhh
