Version 1 Version 2
            [Verse 1]
Em                                           D Em
You'll take my life but I'll take yours too
 Em                                               D C
You'll fire your musket but I'll run you through
 C                                         D Em 
So when you're waiting for the next attack
 Em                                         D Em
You'd better stand there's no turning back.
 Em                                     D Em
The bugle sounds and the charge begins
 Em                                  D C
But on this battlefield no one wins
 C                                       D Em
The smell of acrid smoke and horses breath
 Em 
As I plunge on into certain death.

[Chorus]
 D                        Em
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
 D                        Em
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
D Em

[Verse 2]
 Em                                         D Em
The horse he sweats with fear we break to run
 Em                                 D C
The mighty roar of the Russian guns
 C                                  D Em
And as we race towards the human wall
 Em                                   D Em
The screams of pain as my comrades fall
 Em                                   D Em
We hurdle bodies that lay on the ground
 Em                                D C
And the Russians fire another round
 C                            D Em
We get so near yet so far away
 Em 
We won't live to fight another day.

[Chorus]
 D                        Em
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
 D                        Em
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

[Verse 3]
 Em                                D Em
We get so close near enough to fight
 Em                               D C
When a Russian gets me in his sights
 C                                    D Em
He pulls the trigger and I feel the blow
 Em                                  D Em
A burst of rounds take my horse below.
 Em                                D Em
And as I lay there gazing at the sky
 Em                                D C
My body's numb and my throat is dry
 C                           D Em
And as I lay forgotten and alone
 Em 
Without a tear I draw my parting groan

[Chorus]
 D                        Em
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
 D                        Em
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
