[Verse]
Em
Can you hear the shuffle of boots?
                            C
Old men in polyester suits
                             D
Ties like regimental colours flying
Em
Who they are I do not know
                                C
I just watch them row upon row
                            D
Every single one of them is crying
            Em
And they're marching along the old 
dirt track
Looking up ahead, never looking back
  C

Scared they'll catch the eye of some
     D
 Medusa

[Chorus]
C
Here they are now one, two, three
Em
Four and five and more and many
   C               D
And six and seven, eight and nine
Em                                
Here they come in a long, long 
  C
line
               D
Count a dozen, count a score
Em                         C   D
There might be a hundred more

[Verse]
Continues after the ad
Em
Can you hear the clatter of boots?
                                C
Kits and packs and khaki suits
                              D
And ragged regimental colours flying
Em
Swallowed whole by the cold steel 
rain
Just a little fresh blood in the 
             C    D
serpent's veins
           Em
And it's a sharp shrill whistle call
 to attack
And they're running up ahead, and 
                          C
they're never coming back
Caught right in the eye of some 
    D
Medusa

[Chorus]
C
Here they are now one, two, three
Em
Four and five and more and many
   C               D
And six and seven, eight and nine
Em                                
Here they come in a long, long 
  C
line
               D
Count a dozen, count a score
Em                         C   D
There might be a hundred more

[Verse]
Em
Can you hear the concrete clicking
And the telephones bawling and the 
                    C
clocks all ticking
And the red ink spilling on the 
D
embers
Em
No one cares, no one remembers
C                                 
Names like footsteps chiselled in 
      D
stone
         Em            C          
Row upon row, row upon row, row 
   D             Em
upon row, row upon row

[Chorus]
C
Here they are now one, two, three
Em
Four and five and more and many
   C               D
And six and seven, eight and nine
Em                                
Here they come in a long, long 
  C
line
               D
Count a dozen, count a score
Em                         C   D
There might be a hundred more

[Chorus]
C
Here they are now one, two, three
Em
Four and five and more and many
   C               D
And six and seven, eight and nine
Em                                
Here they come in a long, long 
  C
line
               D
Count a dozen, count a score
Em                         C   D  Em
There might be a hundred more
            C   D  Em
A hundred more
            C   D  Em
A hundred more
