The Battle Rages On

(Blackmore/Gillan/Lord/Paice)

From "The Battle Rages On", 1993

Dm                    C

Been so many words so much to say



Dm                      F        Gm

Words are not enough to keep the guns at bay



Dm                     C

Some live in fear some do not



Dm                            F        Gm

Some gamble everything on who gets the final shot



A7-9

Oh don't talk to me of love



Bb           C/E          Dm

It's obvious it's not enough



       Bb/D     Dm         Bb       C

Annihilation    kill them all



Dm           C          Bb

Capitulation watch the mighty fall



Dm          Bb/D      Dm      Bb      C

The road to glory is lined in red



Dm             C             G

And though the reason now is gone



Gm

   The battle rages on
