[Verse]
A                                 
You'll take my life but I'll take 
          G
yours too
A                                 
You'll fire your musket but I'll 
               G
run you through
F                                 
So when you're waiting for the 
         G
next attack
A                            
You'd better stand, there's no 
               G
turning back

A                                  G
The bugle sounds the charge begins
A                                 
But on this battlefield no one 
  G
wins
F                                 
The smell of acrid smoke and 
         G
horses breath
A
As I plunge on into certain death

[Chorus]
G       A
Ooooooooh

[Verse]
A                                 
The horse he sweats with fear, we 
             G
break to run
A                                 
The mighty roar of the Russian 
  G
guns
F                              
And as we race towards the human 
       G
wall
A                                 
The scream of pain as my comrades 
     G
fall

A                              
We hurdle bodies that lay on the 
         G
ground
A                                 
And the Russians fire another 
  G
round
F                              G
We get so near yet so far away
A                                  G
We won't live to fight another day

[Chorus]
G       A
Ooooooooh
G       A
Ooooooooh

[Verse]
A                                 
We get so close near enough to 
   G
fight
A                                 
When a Russian gets me in his 
   G
sights
F                                 
He pulls the trigger and I feel 
       G
the blow
A                             
A burst of rounds take my horse 
        G
below

A                                 
And as I lay there gazing at the 
   G
sky
A                                 
My body's numb and my throat is 
  G
dry
F                                G
And as I lay forgotten and alone
A                              
Without a tear I draw my parting 
        G
groan

[Chorus]
G       A
Ooooooooh
G       A
Ooooooooh
