INTRO: Dm C F (4x)
Dm C F
Seven thousand men crossed the river today
Dm C F
And none of them came back across
Dm C F
[All lost there by] Isonzo today
Dm C F Dm C F Dm C F
And we'll send more as soon as they're gone
Dm C F
[ ? ] our loss too old and so fair
Dm C F
On the day of our wedding it rained
Dm C F
Now, they told me to cross the Isonzo today
Dm C F
And I shall never see her again
CHORUS:
Am C
Three days, three days passed the river they set
Am F C
The city of Trentine alight
Am C
Take it, you can, you'll be among her best men
Am G
And the nation will watch you Do or Die
INSTRUMENTAL: Dm C F (4x)
Dm C F
Not even make it, ten minutes or so
Dm C F
We were cut down by enemy fire
Dm C F
Wounded on the banks of Isonzo today
Dm C F
And I'm glad no one can hear me cry
Dm C F
The river ran red and the stench of the dead
Dm C F
Were the last senses left to the mind
Dm C F
Carried away on the gurney that day
Dm C F
Crossing back o'er the river I died
CHORUS:
Am C
Three years, three years on that river they fought
Am F C
Many more men lost their lives
Am C
In 1918 there was finally peace
Am G
While in a graveyard in Venice I lie
OUTRO: Dm C F (4x)
