I’ve never seen the correct chords for this fantastic song anywhere, so I decided to
figure it out myself.
Standard tuning, no capo.
B – x24442
Em – 022000
G#m – 466444
G – 320003 / 355433
C – x32010 / 81010988 (this one fits the song more closely)
D# – x68886
Intro
B Em B Em
Verse:
G#m G B
In this dark night we stand or we fall
G#m G B
We are kings now, or nothing at all
G#m G
Check your a-rmor; light up your torch
G#m Em
Touch the flame to the sail before you head for the shore.
Chorus:
B
And we will burn the fleet,
Em
We can ne-ver go home;
B Em
So to vict’ry or under-ground;
B Em
Burn the fleet, we’ll be he-roes or ghosts
B G
But we won’t be turned a-round.
Verse 2:
G#m G B
Yeah, the old flag will burn with the sail
G#m G B
And a new one won’t fly if we fail.
G#m G
But the fire con-tinues to rise,
G#m Em
And it shows not a hint of any fear in our eyes.
Chorus:
B
And we will burn the fleet,
Em
We can ne-ver go home;
B Em
So to vict’ry or under-ground;
B Em
Burn the fleet, we’ll be he-roes or ghosts
B G
But we won’t be turned a-round.
