Standard Tuning No Capo Travis Picking
Intro: Two Bars of C (Cross picking)
DO LAm
Too thin the line that charged the Heights, and
FA DO
Scrambled in the clay.
DO LAm
Too thin the Eastern Township Scot
FA SOL
Who showed them all the way, and
DO LAm
Per - haps had you not fallen,
FA LAm
You might be what Brock be - came,
DO FA DO
But not one in ten thousand knows your name.
DO LAm
To say the name, Mac - donnell,
FA DO
It would bring no bugle call,
DO LAm
But the Redcoats stayed be - side you,
FA SOL
When they saw the General fall.
DO LAm
Twas Mac- donnell raised the banner then, and
FA LAm
Set the Heights a - flame,
DO FA DO
But not one in ten thousand knows your name.
Chorus
SOL
You brought the field all standing
FA DO
With your courage and your luck,
DO LAm
But un- known to most, you're lying there
FA SOL
Be - side old General Brock.
DO LAm
So you know what it is to scale the Heights, and
FA LAm
Fall just short of fame, and
DO FA DO
Have not one in ten thousand know your name.
Break: Chorus instrumental
DO LAm
At Queenston now, the General,
FA DO
On his tower stands a - lone, and
DO LAm
There's lichen on "Mac - donnell,"
FA SOL
Carved up - on that weathered stone.
DO LAm
In a corner of the monument,
FA LAm
To glory you could claim,
DO FA DO
But not one in ten thousand knows your name.
SOL
You brought the field all standing,
FA DO
With your courage and your luck,
DO LAm
But un- known to most, you're lying there,
FA SOL
Be - side old General Brock.
DO LAm
So you know what it is to scale the Heights, and
FA LAm
Fall just short of fame, and
DO FA DO
Have not one in ten thousand know your name.
