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

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

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

Ohhhhhhhh
