Capo 4

E  D
Youll take my life but ill take yours too
 E D
Youll fire your musket but ill run you through
 C D
So when youre waiting for the next attack
 E D
Youd better stand theres no turning back.
 E D
The bugle sounds and the charge begins
 E D
But on this battlefield no one wins
 C D
The smell of acrid smoke and horses breath
 E D
As i plunge on into certain death.
 D E
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
 D E    [ E D C D ]2x
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
 E D
The horse he sweats with fear we break to run


 E D
The mighty roar of the russian guns
 C D
And as we race towards the human wall
 E D
The screams of pain as my comrades fall
 E D
We hurdle bodies that lay on the ground
 E D
And the russians fire another round
 C D
We get so near yet so far away
 E D
We wont live to fight another day.
 E D
We get so close near enough to fight
 E D
When a russian gets me in his sights
 C D
He pulls the trigger and i feel the blow
 E D
A burst of rounds take my horse below.
 E D
And as i lay there gazing at the sky
 E D
My bodys numb and my throat is dry
 C D
And as i lay forgotten and alone
 E D
Without a tear i draw my parting groan
 D E
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
 D E    [ E D C D ]
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
