Dm                  Bb           
News that came that morning told 
         C                   Dm
that the main force had been slain
Dm                   Bb          
Chance for peace and justice gone
         F                 C
 and all talks had been in vain
  Dm                Bb            
A prince had been offended and he 
    C                Dm
has gone the path of war
         Dm   Bb                   
Now that 1500 men are dead and the 
F            C
Zulus at the door

[Pre-Chorus]
Gm    F  Gm
Zulus attack
Gm         F  Gm
Fight back to back
Bb           F
Show them no mercy and
Gm   F  Gm
Fire at will
Gm      F  Gm
Kill or be killed
A
Facing, awaiting

[Chorus]
  Dm               Bb             
A hostile spear, a new frontier, 
   Gm
the end is near
F             C
There's no surrender
    Dm                     Bb  
The lines must hold, their story 
                Gm                A
told, Rorke's drift controlled

Dm            Bb                  
Later on that fateful day as they 
C                Dm
head towards the drift
Dm              Bb    
Stacking boxes, fortify, 
        F               C
preparations must be swift
Dm                    Bb     
Spears and shields of oxen hide 
          C            Dm
facing uniforms and guns
       Dm           Bb            
As the rifles fire, echoes higher,
         F                 C
 beating like the sound of drums

[Pre-Chorus]
Gm    F  Gm
Zulus attack
Gm         F  Gm

1879, when a few held the line
     C  Dm    C Dm    C   Dm   
Back to back, attack, the dead are 
E   F
stacked
                       C           
Where a last stand was made, and 
         Dm
the empire saved
     C  Dm    C Dm    C   Dm   
Back to back, attack, the dead are 
E   F
stacked
