Battle Cry

E F#m AM7 E F#m AM7 E A It always starts with the blast of a distant shell E Then the smoke fills the air and they start to yell A Every man feels the blow when the earth explodes B There's a look in their eyes like a walking ghost E A B And every time you fall face down in the dirt E A I never will be far B E Don't be afraid A E I've got a battle cry A B E So you can follow me A E Even in darkness I'll never leave your side A E I've got a battle cry A When the dust settles under a wounded sky E Then you count who is left saying who survived A You never know whose goodbyes you will have to send B Then tomorrow the march will begin again E A B And every time you fall weary on your knees E A I will never be far B E Don't be afraid A E I've got a battle cry A B E So you can follow me A E Even in darkness I'll never leave your side A E I've got a battle cry E A E A E A E So if you're up against the wall A Staring down the firing squad B E F#m They ask you for your final verse A Be brave B E Tell them to do their worst A E I've got a battle cry A B E So you can follow me A E Even in darkness I'll never leave your side A B E I've got a battle cry A E I've got a battle cry A B E So you can follow me A E Even in darkness I'll never leave your side A A I've got a battle cry
