              VERSE 1: 
        Em D/F#                 Em 
Sound the bugle now -   play it just for me 
        Bm                 C           D 
As the seasons change - remember how I used to be  
               G D/F#              Em 
Now I can't go on -  I can't even start 
          Bm            C                  D 
I've got nothing left - just an empty heart  
       Bm         C          Dsus9                Em 
I'm a soldier - wounded so I must give up the fight 
                 D        Em              Dsus2-D  
There's nothing more for me - lead me away...  
                      Em 
Or leave me lying here  
 
VERSE 2: 
                 Em D/F#                   Em 
Sound the bugle now -   tell them I don't care  
               Bm                 C              D 
There's not a road I know - that leads to anywhere  
           Bm    C                   Dsus9          Em 
Without a light feat that I will - stumble in the dark 
           D        Em             D 
Lay right down - decide not to go on  
PRE Chorus: 
              Bm      C                    D 
Then from on hight - somewhere in the distance  
            Bm                  C                D 
There's a voice that calls - remember who you are  
 
Chorus: 
 
        Em        Am          Bm                  Em-D 
If you lose yourself - your courage soon will follow  
         C           D    D4/9            C........D4/9..D 
So be strong tonight - remember who you are 
   
fnal: 
           Em       Am   Bm               Em-D 
Ya you're a soldier now - fighting in a battle  
        C        Dsus9 D               G 
To be free once more -Ya that's worth fighting for
