   Gm           Eb5
As an archduke falls and the battle horn calls
  F5            Gm
Our lives would never be the same
    Bb5       C5     Gm F5
We were looking down the barrel of a gun

Now the war has come and the battle has begun
    F5        Gm
We are desperate and overrun
    Bb5        C5         Gm  F5
To the war drum we’ll be marching until it’s done

 Our stand at Yser will be, the end of the race to the sea
Gm                Bb5        F5
 The last piece of Belgium is free, we’re keeping a sliver
Gm            C5      D5  Gm
 A cog in the war machine
October of 1914

As our foe draws forth we are moving on north

We will never let them have it all
     Bb5        C5        Gm  F5
There’s a price for freedom paid by Belgium’s sons

They may take our towns, they may conquer our grounds
    Eb5           F5
We’ll defend the nation and the crown
    Gm      Eb5       F5  D5
We’ll uphold our independence with our guns

We will follow and we will not be led astray
