Emi

Hear the sound of a machinegun

Hmi(D)

Hear it echo in the night

G

Mortars firing rains the scene

Hmi

Scars the fields that once were green



It's a stalemate at the frontline

Where the soldiers rest in mud

Roads and houses

All is gone

There's no glory to be won



Know that many men will suffer

Know that many men will die

Half a million lives at stake

At the fields of Passchendaele



C                                D

And as the night falls the general calls

       G   ,  F#7-4sus ,Emi

And the battle carries on

        C

And on

                     D                 Hmi

What is the purpose of it all?

C                                D

What's the price of a mile?



Emi

Thousands of feet march to the beat 

Hmi

It's an army on the march

G

Long way from home

Hmi

Paying the price in young men's lives



Thousands of feet march to the beat

It's an army in despair

Knee-deep in mud

Stuck in the trench with no way out



Thousands of machineguns

Kept on firing through the night 

Mortars blazed and wrecked the scene

Gone are the fields that once were green



Still a deadlock at the frontline

Where the soldiers die in mud

Roads and houses since long gone

Still no glory has been won



Know that many men has suffered

Know that many men has died

Six miles of ground has been won

Half a million men are gone



And as the men crawled the general called

And the killing carried on 

And on

What's the purpose of it all?

What's the price of a mile?



Thousands of feet march to the beat

It's an army on the march

Long way from home

Paying the price in young men's lives



Thousands of feet march to the beat

It's an army in despair

Knee-deep in mud

Stuck in the trench with no way out



Young men are dying

They pay the price

Oh how they suffer

So tell me what's the price of a mile?



That's the price of a mile!



Thousands of feet march to the beat

It's an army on the march

Long way from home

Paying the price in young men's lives



Thousands of feet march to the beat

It's an army in despair

Knee-deep in mud

Stuck in the trench with no way out
