Guitar: The British Grenadiers (Including lyrics and chords)

A request for Nightgaun7 for a marching song the first verse of which I have known by heart since early childhood, but the rest of which I have only learned today.
The following information plus much more is available on Wikipedia at the following address: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_British_Grenadiers#Lyrics
The British Grenadiers is a marching song for the grenadier units of the British military, the tune of which dates from the seventeenth century. It is the Regimental Quick March of the Grenadier Guards, the Honourable Artillery Company and the Royal Regiment of Fusiliers. It is also an authorised march of The Royal Gibraltar Regiment, The Royal Regiment of Canadian Artillery, The Canadian Grenadier Guards, The Royal Regiment of Canada, The Princess Louise Fusiliers, and The 5th Canadian Mounted Rifles.
The text arguably dates back to the War of Spanish Succession (1702-1713), since it refers to the grenadiers throwing grenades (a practice that proved to be too dangerous and was dropped soon after,) and the men wearing "caps and pouches" (i.e. the typical grenadier caps, worn by these elite troops, and probably the small cartridge boxes worn in front, known as a 'belly box') and "louped clothes", then preserved only for the grenadiers.
The historical terms mentioned in the song are all explained in the article which is quite fascinating especially if you have an interest in the history of the armed forces.
May I also dedicate this to our brave men and women fighting in foreign arenas today.
