(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

They pay the price

Oh how they suffer

So tell me what's the price of a mile
