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

Ohhhhhhhh

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

Ohhhhhhhh

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

Ohhhhhhhh
