Standard Tuning No Capo Travis Picking
Intro: Two Bars of C (Cross picking)
C Am
Too thin the line that charged the Heights, and
Scrambled in the clay.
C AmToo thin the Eastern Township Scot
F GWho showed them all the way, and
Per - haps had you not fallen,
F AmYou might be what Brock be - came,
C F CBut not one in ten thousand knows your name.
C Am
To say the name, Mac - donnell,
It would bring no bugle call,
C AmBut the Redcoats stayed be - side you,
F GWhen they saw the General fall.
Twas Mac- donnell raised the banner then, and
F AmSet the Heights a - flame,
C F CBut not one in ten thousand knows your name.
Chorus
You brought the field all standing
F CWith your courage and your luck,
C AmBut un- known to most, you're lying there
Be - side old General Brock.
C AmSo you know what it is to scale the Heights, and
F AmFall just short of fame, and
Have not one in ten thousand know your name.
Break: Chorus instrumental
C Am
At Queenston now, the General,
F COn his tower stands a - lone, and
There's lichen on "Mac - donnell,"
F GCarved up - on that weathered stone.
C AmIn a corner of the monument,
To glory you could claim,
C F CBut not one in ten thousand knows your name.
G
You brought the field all standing,
F CWith your courage and your luck,
But un- known to most, you're lying there,
F GBe - side old General Brock.
C AmSo you know what it is to scale the Heights, and
Fall just short of fame, and
C F CHave not one in ten thousand know your name.
