The Trooper

E D E Youll take my life but ill take yours too E D C Youll fire your musket but ill run you through C D E So when youre waiting for the next attack E D E Youd better stand theres no turning back. E D E The bugle sounds and the charge begins E D C But on this battlefield no one wins C D E The smell of acrid smoke and horses breath E As i plunge on into certain death. D E Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh D E Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh D E E D E The horse he sweats with fear we break to run E D C The mighty roar of the russian guns C D E And as we race towards the human wall E D E The screams of pain as my comrades fall E D E We hurdle bodies that lay on the ground E D C And the russians fire another round C D E We get so near yet so far away E We wont live to fight another day. D E Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh D E Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh E D E We get so close near enough to fight E D C When a russian gets me in his sights C D E He pulls the trigger and i feel the blow E D E A burst of rounds take my horse below. E D E And as i lay there gazing at the sky E D C My bodys numb and my throat is dry C D E And as i lay forgotten and alone E Without a tear i draw my parting groan D E Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh D E Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
