The Price Of A Mile

	  		Intro: Em  Bm  G  Bm(3x) 
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?  

Refrão:

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

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?
