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?

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

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?
