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