The Battle of Trafalgar Intro G///D///C///D///G///D///C///B7/// (the 1st and 3rd "D" chords are played like a C chord raised one tone but with the 1st and 3rd strings open - d,f#,g,d,e - Chordbook couldn't give it a name so I am calling it D)
Em D Am D G
Let us sing the songs of glory; songs that tell a nation’s story
Em C Am Em D
Of a battle red and gory; at Trafalgar, at Trafalgar and
G D Am C D
How the blood and tears did run, when battle was begun, and every mother’s son, G D
Went down upon their knees; cried, ‘Jesus hear me please. Am C D G
Don’t take my life away, but let me live to say, that I was at Trafalgar’.
Crimson blossoms in the water; we were lambs unto the slaughter
Showed no mercy, asked no quarter, at Trafalgar, at Trafalgar and how the blood and tears did run ......
Wounded men in pain were lying, all among the dead and dying
Where the cannon balls were flying, at Trafalgar, at Trafalgar and how the blood and tears did run .......
And here’s to Nelson, lion hearted; though your soul too soon departed
We concluded what you started, at Trafalgar, at Trafalgar and how the blood and tears did run .....
(Optional extra verse) Eh Francois t'a du courage; je te rends tout mon hommage Tant de morts c'est bien dommage, a Trafalgar, a Trafalgar
