Price Of A Mile

	  		
(Intro) 

Em Bm G Bm X3 
Em ... 

         Em 
Hear the sound of a machinegun 
        Bm 
Hear it echo in the night 
G 
Mortars firing rains the scene 
Bm 
Scars the fields that once were green 

       Em 
It’s a stalemate at the frontline 
          Bm 
Where the soldiers rest in mud 
G 
Roads and houses all is gone 
Bm 
There’s no glory to be won 

          Em 
Know that many men will suffer 
          D 
Know that many will die 
G 
Half a million lives at stake 
Bm 
At the fields of Passchendaele 

               C               D 
And as the the night falls the general calls 
        G      D       C 
And the battle carries on and on 
            D             Bm 
What is the purpose of it all? 
C                     D 
What’s the price of a mile? 

(Chorus) 
Em 
Thousands of feet march to the beat 
        Bm 
It’s an army on the march 
G 
Long way from home 
Bm                             D 
Paying the price in young mens lives 

Em 
Thousands of feet march to the beat 
        Bm 
It’s an army in despair 
G 
Knee deep in mud 
Bm                           D                      
Stuck in a trench with no way out 

Em 

Em 
Thousand of machineguns 
        Bm 
Kept on firing through the night 
G 
Mortars blazed and wrecked the scene 
Bm 
Gone is the fields that once were green 

        Em 
Still a deadlock at the frontline 
          Bm 
Where the soldiers die in mud 
G 
Roads and houses since long gone 
Bm 
Still no glory has been won 

          Em 
Know that many has suffered 
          D 
Know that many has died 
G 
6 miles of ground has been won 
Bm 
Half a million men are gone 

           C               D 
And as the men crawled the general called 
        G       D       C 
And the killing carried on and on 
             D             Bm 
What was the purpose of it all? 
C                     D 
What’s the price of a mile? 

(Chorus) 
Em 
Thousands of feet march to the beat 
        Bm 
It’s an army on the march 
G 
Long way from home 
Bm                             D 
Paying the price in young mens lives 

Em 
Thousands of feet march to the beat 
        Bm 
It’s an army in despair 
G 
Knee deep in mud 
Bm                           D                      
Stuck in a trench with no way out 

Em D Em D 

Em 
Young men are dying 
D 
They pay the price 
Em 
Oh how they suffer 
Em         D                     G 
So tell me what's the price of a mile 

(Guitar Solo)
