When The Tigers Broke Free
Ton : CEnglish
It was jCust before dawn one mG#iserable morning iCn black forty-four
WChen the foreward commander was told to sit tight
When they asked that his mF/Cen be withdCrawn
ACnd the generals gave thanks as the other ranks
HG#eld back the enemy Ctanks for a while
And the ACnzio Bridgehead was hG#eld for the price
Of a fCew hundred ordinary lives
ACnd kind old King GGeorge sent Mother a nCote when G
he heard that Father was gone
ICt was I recGall in the form of a sCcroll with gold leaf and all
ACnd I found it one day in a drawer of old photographs hidden away
ACnd my eyes still grow damp to remG#ember
His Majesty sCigned with his own rubber stamp
ICt was dark all arGound there was frost on the gCround
When the Tigers broke fGree
ACnd no-one survived from the Royal Fusiliers Company "C"
TGhey were all left behCind most of them dGead - the rest of them dCying
ACnd that's how the hGigh command took my dCaddy from me
