The Trooper - Ver 2

Em D Em You'll take my life but I'll take yours too Em D C You'll fire your musket but I'll run you through C D Em So when you're waiting for the next attack Em D Em You'd better stand there's no turning back. Em D Em The bugle sounds and the charge begins Em D C But on this battlefield no one wins C D Em The smell of acrid smoke and horses breath Em As I plunge on into certain death. D Em Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh D Em Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh D Em Em D Em The horse he sweats with fear we break to run Em D C The mighty roar of the Russian guns C D Em And as we race towards the human wall Em D Em The screams of pain as my comrades fall Em D Em We hurdle bodies that lay on the ground Em D C And the Russians fire another round C D Em We get so near yet so far away Em We won't live to fight another day. D Em Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh D Em Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh Em D Em We get so close near enough to fight Em D C When a Russian gets me in his sights C D Em He pulls the trigger and I feel the blow Em D Em A burst of rounds take my horse below. Em D Em And as I lay there gazing at the sky Em D C My body's numb and my throat is dry C D Em And as I lay forgotten and alone Em Without a tear I draw my parting groan D Em Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh D Em Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
