This is an acoustic version of Pachendale that I came up with. Obviously it is not
to sound much like the classic Pachendale on Dance of Death, but I think the tune is
This is my first submission, so bear with me!
Pachendale (Iron Maiden)
Intro (2x): Em Bm D C Am Em D C
EmIn a Bmforeign fDield he Clay
AmlonelyEm soldier uDnknown Cgrave
on his dying words he prays
tell the world of Paschendale
Relive all that he's been through
last communion of his soul
rust your bullets with his tears
let me tell you 'bout his years
EmLaying low in a Bmblood filled trench
Dkilling time 'til my Cvery own death
Emon my face I can feel the Bmfalling rain
Cnever see my friends Dagain
in the smoke in the mud and lead
the smell of fear and the feeling of dread
soon be time to go over the wall
rapid fire and the end of us all
EmWhistles, Bmshouts and Dmore gun-fireC
Amlifeless Embodies hang on Dbarbed Cwire
battlefield nothing but a bloody tomb
be reunited with my dead friends soon
many soldiers eighteen years
drowned in mud, no more tears
surely a war no one can win
killing time about to begin
EmHome, far Bmaway. From the Cwar, a Amchance to Clive agGain
Home, far away. But the war, no chance to live again
AmThe bodies of Dours and our Cfoes
Amthe sea of Ddeath it Coverflows
Amin no-man's Dland God only Cknows
Aminto jaws of Ddeath we Emgo...
EmCrucifiBmed as if Don a crCoss
Amallied Emtroops, they Dmourn their Closs
German war propaganda machine
such before has never been seen
swear I heard the angels cry
pray to God no more may die
so that people know the truth
tell the tale of Paschendale
EmCruelty has a Bmhuman heart
Devery man does play his Cpart
Emtell them of the Bmmen we kill
Dthe human heart is Chungry still
I stand my ground for the very last time
gun is ready as I stand in line
nervous wait for the whistle to blow
rush of blood and over we go...
AmBlood is Cfalling like the Drain
Amits crimson cloak uDnveils Cagain
Amthe sound of Cguns can't hide their Dshame
Amand so we Ddie in CPaschendale
Dodging shrapnel and barbed wire
running straight at canon fire
running blind as I hold my breath
say a prayer symphony of death
as we charge the enemy lines
a burst of fire and we go down
I choke I cry but no one hears
feel the blood go down my throat
Home, far away. From the war, a chance to live again
Home, far away. But the war, no chance to live again
Home, far away. From the war, a chance to live again
Home, far away. But the war, no chance to live again
See my spirit on the wind
across the lines beyond the hill
friend and foe will meet again
those who died at Paschendale
