  Forward, we'll take Beersheba, spur up and on Light Horsemen
Bm                 D                 A               Bm
  Ride on through dust and bullets, 'til we take Beersheba


[VERSE 1]

          Bm                               D
  Half a mile to the rise, we'll take the Turks by surprise
             A                         Em
  Keep the trot, hold the line, as we wait for the sign
              Bm                        D
  Clear the brow of the hill, keep it steady until
            A                                 Em
  We're in range of the guns and then we'll break into a run

[VERSE 2]

              Bm                         D
  Bayonnets flash in the sun, Johnnys squint down their guns
           A                           Em
  Captain Davies gives a yell, we went at 'em like hell
          Bm                      D
  Riders fall, horses run, empty saddles splashed with blood
           A                          Em
  Turkish trenches 50 yards, Squadron A led the charge


[CHORUS]

Bm                                  Em           Bm
  Slouch hat with plumes a-flyin', spur up and on Light Horsemen
Bm                 D                 A               Bm
  Ride on through dust and bullets, 'til we take Beersheba  ('hoyyyyyyyy)

  At full gallop, yelling madly

  Pounding hooves go hell for leather

  Flying horses clear the trenches
