The Battle Rages On
(Blackmore/Gillan/Lord/Paice)
From "The Battle Rages On", 1993


VERSE:

Dm                    C
Been so many words so much to say
Dm                      F        Gm
Words are not enough to keep the guns at bay
Dm                     C
Some live in fear some do not
Dm                            F        Gm
Some gamble everything on who gets the final shot


CHORUS:

A7-9
Oh don't talk to me of love
Bb           C/E          Dm
It's obvious it's not enough
       Bb/D     Dm         Bb       C
Annihilation    kill them all
Dm           C          Bb
Capitulation watch the mighty fall
Dm          Bb/D      Dm      Bb      C
The road to glory is lined in red
Dm             C             G
And though the reason now is gone
Gm
    The battle rages on
