4     -5        5  -5     5       -5  5     -5  5    -5  5      4
The hands of time have spoken for the chosen ones
-5     -5     6   5      5   5    -5   5      4
cold steel glistens in the dawning sun;
4     -5  5 -5  5     -5      5          -5     5 -5  5     -44
(It's) destiny and claidemaugh that embraces me
-5 -5    -5 6  5 5      5   -55-44
All here to sacrifice for victory,
-5  5    -5  5    -5  5        -5     5     -5     5      4
Hidden in the shadows when the cold wind comes
  4 -5    -5        6    5     5   5     -55    -44
..A mist queen dances for her fallen sons.
5 -5   6    5 -4  4     5    -5    6     5 4   ?
Over and over, her shadow falls over me.
4  -5     5    -5  5 -5      5      -5     5     -5   -5         5   4
Remember no retreat, from here you die where you stand.
4    -5         -5    6          5     5   5     -5  5     -5 5      -44
It's chance that brings the "Rory's" to this Foreign land,
4     -5   5     -5    5    -5       5          -5       5     -5      -5     5   4
The crimson and the claidemaugh make you "Strangers to fear"
4  -5  -5    6         5         5      5 -5   5   -44
A thin red streak tipped with a line of steel...
5    -5       6    5 4  ?
Shadows fall over me
-5 5    4     3      -3   4
All for the "thin red line".
 
CHORUS:
-5  5   -4   5     -4  43
All for the thin red line
-5 5    4     3      -3   4
All for the thin red line ...
 
-5     5    -5  5    -5 5  -55-5-5 5   4
Now the battles over, Kedikoi can cry; 
4   -5  -5   6    5     5   5      5      -5      5         -4    4
for all The gallant billmen she's seen fought and die;
-5   5  -5  5    -5 5       -5        5  -5  5   4
Red is for the heroes;  Green is for the brave;
4        -5   -5     -5       -5    6        5   5       5  -5       5  -44
(Oh!) "Soldiers would you leave me with no souls To save".
CHORUS:
Play on a harmonica— watch which holes to blow & draw, with sound
