Misc Traditional – Far Across The Broad Stream (Guitar)

     Am
[tab]        E7        Am
Distant campfires gleamed,

                      Dm           Am
As the clear light of dawn started fading,

        Dm
There a hundred young scouts

        Am
From Budyonny's recruits,

         Dm       E7                Am
Galloped off into fields, with foes waiting.

        Dm
There a hundred young scouts

        Am
From Budyonny's recruits

         Dm       E7                Am
Galloped off into fields, with foes waiting.

         Am
Long and hard did they ride,

       E7            Am
In the dead gloom of night,

                    Dm       Am
On the broad, vast Ukrainian plains

       Dm
When, across the broad stream,

         Am
They saw bayonets gleam

       Dm                  E7                Am
Of the White Guards, their ranks locked like chains.

       Dm
When, across the broad stream,

         Am
They saw bayonets gleam

       Dm                  E7                Am
Of the White Guards, their ranks locked like chains.

        Am
And the fearless young troop

       E7    Am
On its enemy swooped,

             Dm        Am
Into furious battle proceeding,

       Dm
Then a young warrior bold

            Am
Drooped his head sharply low,

        Dm       E7               Am
And his Komsomol heart, shot, was bleeding.

       Dm
Then a young warrior bold

            Am
Drooped his head sharply low,

        Dm       E7               Am
And his Komsomol heart, shot, was bleeding.

       Am
And he fell at the feet

       E7             Am
Of his fearless black steed,

                      Dm               Am
And his brown eyes he closed, much too early!

        Dm
You, my black steed, my dear,

         Am
Tell the rest, who aren't here,

          Dm      E7              Am
That with honor I died for the workers!

        Dm
You, my black steed, my dear,

         Am
Tell the rest, who aren't here,

          Dm      E7              Am
That with honor I died for the workers!
