 E5                                                                               D5 
You'll take my life but i'll take yours too
 E5                                                                                     D5 
You'll fire your musket but i'll run you through
 C5                                                                       D5 
So when you're waiting for the next attack
 E5                                                                             D5 
You'd better stand there's no turning back.
 E5                                                                   D5 
The bugle sounds and the charge begins
 E5                                                             D5 
But on this battlefield no one wins
 C5                                                                         D5 
The smell of acrid smoke and horses breath
 E5                                                     D5 
As i plunge on into certain death.
 D5                                         E5 
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
 D5                                             E5 
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
 E5                                                                                 D5 
The horse he sweats with fear we break to run
 E5                                                           D5 
The mighty roar of the russian guns
 C5                                                               D5 
And as we race towards the human wall
 E5                                                                       D5 
The screams of pain as my comrades fall
 E5                                                                     D5 
We hurdle bodies that lay on the ground
 E5                                                             D5 
And the russians fire another round
 C5                                                   D5 
We get so near yet so far away
 E5                                                           D5 
We won't live to fight another day.
 E5                                                             D5 
We get so close near enough to fight
 E5                                                         D5 
When a russian gets me in his sights
 C5                                                                     D5 
He pulls the trigger and i feel the blow
 E5                                                               D5 
A burst of rounds take my horse below.
 E5                                                             D5 
And as i lay there gazing at the sky
 E5                                                             D5 
My body's numb and my throat is dry
 C5                                                       D5 
And as i lay forgotten and alone
 E5                                                             D5 
Without a tear i draw my parting groan
 D5                                           E5 
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
 D5                                           E5 
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
