The Trooper (acoustic)

	  		 
 

E  D 
Youll take my life but ill take yours too 
 E D 
Youll fire your musket but ill run you through 
 C D 
So when youre waiting for the next attack 
 E D 
Youd better stand theres no turning back. 
 E D 
The bugle sounds and the charge begins 
 E D 
But on this battlefield no one wins 
 C D 
The smell of acrid smoke and horses breath 
 E D 
As i plunge on into certain death. 
 D E 
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh 
 D E     E D C D 2x 
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh 
 E D 
The horse he sweats with fear we break to run 


 E D 
The mighty roar of the russian guns 
 C D 
And as we race towards the human wall 
 E D 
The screams of pain as my comrades fall 
 E D 
We hurdle bodies that lay on the ground 
 E D 
And the russians fire another round 
 C D 
We get so near yet so far away 
 E D 
We wont live to fight another day. 
 E D 
We get so close near enough to fight 
 E D 
When a russian gets me in his sights 
 C D 
He pulls the trigger and i feel the blow 
 E D 
A burst of rounds take my horse below. 
 E D 
And as i lay there gazing at the sky 
 E D 
My bodys numb and my throat is dry 
 C D 
And as i lay forgotten and alone 
 E D 
Without a tear i draw my parting groan 
 D E 
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh 
 D E     E D C D  
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
