Dave Cousins - Beat The Retreat
CAPO: 3rd Fret
[Intro]
D G Em D
[Verse 1]
G Em
The rat race was over
D
Before it was won
G D E7
And I started walking
A
When I could have run
G D
Like a child who missed out
G D G
On a Sunday school treat
D G
Now you know how I feel when
D
I beat the retreat
[Verse 2]
G Em
I slept like a soldier
D
My gun at my side
G D E7
My uniform folded
A
I wore it with pride
G D G
I could not rest contented
D G
Until I joined the elite
D G
Now you know how I feel when
D
I beat the retreat
[Instrumental]
G D G D G D G D
[Verse 3]
G Em
This winter wind brings
D
Such a chill to my bones
G D E7
Erect in my memory
A
A small cairn of stones
G D
So that those from afar
G D G
Can see where our paths meet
D G
Now you know how I feel when
D
I beat the retreat
[Instrumental]
D G Em D G E7 A G D G D G D G D
[Verse 4]
G Em
The last post is sounding
D
Now it's time to be gone
G D E7
There's no further reason
A
For singing this song
G D G
The battle is over
D G
I accept the defeat
D G
Now you know how I feel when
D
I beat the retreat
