[Verse]

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

Em                                           D
  The Bugle sounds and the charge begins
Em                                           D
  But on this battlefield no one wins
C                                            D
  The smell of acrid smoke and horses breath
Em
  As I plunge on into certain death.

[Chorus]

D      Em
Ohhhhhhhh
D      Em D
Ohhhhhhhh

[Verse]

Em                                              D
   The horse he sweats with fear we break to run
Em                                       D
   The mighty roar of the Russian guns
C                                       D
   And as we race towards the human wall
Em                                       D
   The screams of pain as my comrades fall.

Em                                       D
  We hurdle bodies that lay on the ground
Em                                       D
  And the Russians fire another round
C                                     D
  We get so near yet so far away
Em
  We won't live to fight another day.

[Chorus]

D      Em
Ohhhhhhhh
D      Em D
Ohhhhhhhh

[Verse]

Em                                       D
  We get so close near enough to fight
Em                                       D
  When a Russian gets me in his sights
C                                          D
  He pulls the trigger and I feel the blow
Em                                       D
  A burst of rounds take my horse below.

Em                                       D
  And as I lay there gazing at the sky
Em                                       D
  My body's numb and my throat is dry
C                                      D
  And as I lay forgotten and alone
Em
  Without a tear I draw my parting groan.

[Chorus]

D      Em
Ohhhhhhhh
D      Em D
Ohhhhhhhh
