[Chorus]
G C Em
I wanna be in the cavalry if they send me off to war
C G D
I wanna good steed under me like my forefathers before
G C Em
I wanna good mount when the bugle sounds and I hear the cannons' roar
C G D G
I wanna be in the cavalry if they send me off to war
[Verse 1]
G C Em
Well, I wanna horse in the volunteer force that's riding forth at dawn
C G D
Please save for me some gallantry that will echo when I'm gone
G C Em
I beg of you sarge let me lead the charge when the battle lines are drawn
C G D G
Lemme at least leave a good hoof beat they'll remember loud and long
[Verse 2]
G C Em
Well, I’d not a good foot soldier make, I'd be sour and slow at march
C G D
And I'd be sick on a navy ship, and the sea would leave me parched
G C
But I'll be first in line if they'll let me ride, by god, you'll see my
Em
starch
C G D G
Lope back o'er the heath with the laurel wreath underneath that vict’ry arch
[Chorus]
G C Em
I wanna be in the cavalry if they send me off to war
C G D
I wanna good steed under me like my forefathers before
G C Em
I wanna good mount when the bugle sounds and I hear the cannons' roar
C G D G
I wanna be in the cavalry if they send me off to war
[Verse 3]
G C Em
Let me earn my spurs in the battle's blur where the day is lost or won
C G D
I'll wield my lance as the ponies dance and the blackguards fire their guns
G C Em
A sabre keen, and a saddle carbine and an army Remington
C G D G
Where the hot lead screams with the cold, cold steel let me be a cav’lryman
