[Verse 1]
E5                                         D5 G5 D5
You'll take my life but I'll take yours too
E5                                              D5 G5 D5
You'll fire your musket but I'll run you through
C5                                        D5 G5 D5
So when you're waiting for the next attack
E5                                        D5 G5 D5
You'd better stand there's no turning back

[Verse 2]
E5                                   D5 G5 D5
The bugle sounds as the charge begins
E5                                 D5 G5 D5
But on this battlefield no one wins
C5                                        D5 G5 D5
The smell of acrid smoke and horses breath
E5                                D5 G5 D5
As you plunge into a certain death

[Verse 3]
E5                                           D5 G5 D5
The horse he sweats with fear we break to run
E5                                 D5 G5 D5
The mighty roar of the Russian guns
C5                               D5 G5 D5
And as we race towards human wall
E5                                     D5 G5 D5
The screams of pain as my comrades fall

[Verse 4]
E5                                     D5 G5 D5
We hurdle bodies that lay on the ground
E5                                    D5 G5 D5
And as the Russians fire another round
C5                            D5 G5 D5
We get so near yet so far away
E5                                D5 G5 D5
We won't live to fight another day

[Verse 5]
E5                                  D5 G5 D5
We get so close near enough to fight
E5                                  D5 G5 D5
When a Russian gets me in his sights
C5                                      D5 G5 D5
He pulls the trigger and I feel the blow
E5                                    D5 G5 D5
A burst of rounds takes my horse below

[Verse 6]
E5                                  D5 G5 D5
And as I lay there gazing at the sky
E5                                 D5 G5 D5
My body's numb and my throat is dry
C5                              D5 G5 D5
And as I lay forgotten and alone
E5                                    D5 G5 D5
Without a tear I draw my parting groan
