[Verse]
Em                                         
You'll take my life but I'll take yours too
                                                 C
You'll fire your musket but I'll run you through ■
                                           D
So when you're waiting for the next attack ■
                                           E
You'd better stand there's no turning back ■


[Chorus]
                                   Em
The bugle sounds the charge begins ■ 
E                          Em       C
But on this battlefield no one wins ■
                                     Em    
The smell of acrid smoke and horses' breath
            Em                   
As I plunge on into certain death
Em   
Oh Oh

[Verse]
                    E                        
The horse he sweats with fear we break to run
                               C   
The mighty roar of the Russian guns
                                 Em  
And as we race towards the human wall
               E                       
The screams of pain as my comrades fall
                 E                     
We hurdle bodies that lay on the ground
E7                            C    
And the Russians fire another round
               C              
We get so near yet so far away
                 E     D       E    
We won't live to fight another ■ day
D E    
■ Oh Oh

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