Battle Hymn

Em C By moonlight we ride G D Ten thousands side by side Em C With swords drawn held high G D Our whips and armours shine Em C Hail to thee our infantry G D Still brave beyond the grave Em C All have sworn the eternal vow G D Em The time to strike is now! G A Em G E K**l, k**l, Oh ! G A Em G E K**l, k**l, Oh ! G A Em G E K**l, k**l, Oh ! G A Em G E K**l, k**l, Oh ! Em C Gone are the days when freedom shone G D Now blood and steel meet bone Em C In the light of the battle's way G D The sands of time will shade Em C How proud our soldiers stand G D With mace and chain in hand Em C Sound the charge into glory ride G D Em Over the top of the vanguished pride G A Em G E Victory, victory, Oh ! G A Em G E Victory, victory, Oh ! G A Em G E Victory, victory, Oh ! G A Em G E Victory, victory, Oh !
