Song: A Leader On Losing Control Band: Corb Lund and the Hurtin' Albertans Album: Horse Soldier! Horse Soldier! Label: Stony Plain Records Written By: Corb Lund Tabbed/Chorded By: ultimatelefty Here's another good one by Corb, a western sounding war tune, and a very good one at that! Hopefully most of it is correct, the solo was a bit tricky but I think I got the jist of it. Intro:

Verse 1: Am Well I tried my best to stop them, yes I tried to make them wait. G And I appealed to their decency, show mercy on this day. F I issued them strong orders, on pain of death and dissaray. E But in the end they would not listen, they raised their lances anyway.

Verse 2: Am Men of no account, they were, their breeding crude and low. G With not a trace of wisdom, grace, or virtue in their souls. F Yet trained them long and hard I did, to bend them to the crown. E To act as tools of justice, follow edict handed down.

Verse 3: Am Well you see these were not militia men, a-fighting for their homes. G Nor fathers, sons, nor husbands, sire, but foreigners on loan. F Yet mercinary killers career soldiers to a man. E Lashing out with vengeance one can not except or understand.

Verse 4: Am Well I could not instill the discipline, 'twas duty to inspire. G And they responded in the end to instincts of the basest kind. F Now on my knee before you, here I dry my eyes in shame. E albeit little consolation, take my head for I'm to blame.
