Standard (EADGBE)

Too / thin the line that / charged the Heights, and

Scrambled in the / clay.

Too / thin the Eastern / Township Scot

Who / showed them all the / way, and

Per - / haps had you not / fallen,

You might / be what Brock be - / came,

But not / one in ten / thousand knows your / name. / /

To / say the name, Mac - / donnell,

It would / bring no bugle / call,

But the / Redcoats stayed be - / side you,

When they / saw the General / fall.

Twas Mac- / donnell raised the / banner then, and

Set the Heights a - / flame,

But not / one in ten / thousand knows your /name. / /

Chorus

You / brought the field all / standing

With your / courage and your / luck,

But un- / known to most, you're / lying there

Be - / side old General / Brock.

So you know / what it is to / scale the Heights, and

Fall just short of / fame, and

Have not / one in ten / thousand know your / name. / /

Chorus instrumental

At / Queenston now, the / General,

On his / tower stands a - / lone, and

There's / lichen on "Mac - / donnell,"

Carved up - / on that weathered / stone.

In a / corner of the / monument,

To / glory you could / claim,

But not / one in ten / thousand knows your / name.

You / brought the field all / standing,

With your / courage and your / luck,

But un- / known to most, you're / lying there,

Be - / side old General / Brock.

So you know / what it is to / scale the Heights, and

Fall just short of / fame, and

Have not / one in ten / thousand know your / name. / /
