Cm                                           A#
  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.

Ohhhhhhhh

[Verse]
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.

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
A#      Cm A#
Ohhhhhhhh
