The Trooper
by Iron Maiden(Steve Harris)
Intro: E  D  C  D 
E                                        D 
You'll take my life but i'll take yours too 
E                                           D 
You'll fire your musket but i'll run you through 
C                                    D 
So when you're waiting for the next attack 
E                                       D 
You'd better stand there's 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) 
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 won't 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 body's 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
