Verse
EmThe horse he sweats with fear we break to Drun
EmThe mighty roar of the Russian guns D
C5And as we race towards the human wall D
EmThe screams of pain as my comrades Dfall
Verse
EmWe hurdle bodies that lay on the Dground
EmAnd the Russians fire another Dround
C5We get so near yet so far away D
EmWe won't live to fight another day. D
Verse
EmWe get so close near enough to Dfight
EmWhen a Russian gets me in his sights D
C5He pulls the trigger and I feel the blow D
EmA burst of rounds take my horse below. D
Verse
EmAnd as I lay there gazing at the sky D
EmMy body's numb and my throat is dry D
C5And as I lay forgotten and alone D
EmWithout a tear I draw my parting Dgroan
