[Verse]
Dm Bb C Dm
News that came that morning told that the main force had been slain
Dm Bb F C
Chance for peace and justice gone and all talks had been in vain
Dm Bb C Dm
A prince had been offended and he has gone the path of war
Dm Bb F C
Now that 1500 men are dead and the Zulus at the door
[Pre-Chorus]
Gm F Gm
Zulus attack
Gm F Gm
Fight back to back
Bb F
Show them no mercy and
Gm F Gm
Fire at will
Gm F Gm
Kill or be killed
A
Facing, awaiting
[Chorus]
Dm Bb Gm
A hostile spear, a new frontier, the end is near
F C
There's no surrender
Dm Bb Gm A
The lines must hold, their story told, Rorke's drift controlled
[Verse]
Dm Bb C Dm
Later on that fateful day as they head towards the drift
Dm Bb F C
Stacking boxes, fortify, preparations must be swift
Dm Bb C Dm
Spears and shields of oxen hide facing uniforms and guns
Dm Bb F C
As the rifles fire, echoes higher, beating like the sound of drums
[Pre-Chorus]
Gm F Gm
Zulus attack
Gm F Gm
Fight back to back
Bb F
Show them no mercy and
Gm F Gm
Fire at will

Kill or be killed

Facing, awaiting
[Chorus]

A hostile spear, a new frontier, the end is near

There's no surrender

The lines must hold, their story told, Rorke's drift controlled

1879, when a few held the line

Back to back, attack, the dead are stacked

Where a last stand was made, and the empire saved
C Dm C Dm C Dm E F
Back to back, attack, the dead are stacked
