G D
A soldier of fortune came home from war
C G
And wondered what he was fighting for
G D
This sad-eyed soldier, he broke down and cried
C G
Oh he was so broke up inside
G
When will it end
D
When will it end
C
The bells toll
G
For those about to die Intro SOlo
G D
The battle's over the war is won
C G
But this soldier of fortune he will carry on
G D
He will carry on when all hope is gone
C G
He will carry on
G D
He's trained to kill and kill he will
C G
As we march along
G D
Singing just another soldier song
C G
Just another soldier song
G D
I am a soldier of fortune
C G
Destined to keep on marching
G
I can hear the pipers calling
G D
I am a soldier of fortune
C G
Destined to keep on marching
G D C G
I can hear the pipers calling
