Verse 1

[A] [A]

Me and old Bill there, we both come from Georgia

[A] [E] [A]

Met Hank out in New Mexico

[A] [A]

We're bound for Durango to join Pancho Villa

[A] [E] [A]

We hear that he's paying in gold

[A] [A]

I guess a man's got to do what he's best at

[A] [E] [A]

Ain't found nothing better so far

[A] [A]

Been called mercenaries and men with no country

[A] [E] [A]

Just soldiers in search of a war

Chorus 1

[D] [A]

And we're bound for the border, we're soldiers of fortune

[E] [E] [A]

Well, we'll fight for no country, but we'll die for good pay

[D] [A]

Under the flag of the greenback dollar

[A] [E] [A]

Or the peso down Mexico way

Verse 2

[A] [A]

When this war is over might go back to Georgia

[A] [E] [A]

And settle down quiet somewhere

[A] [A]

I'll most likely pack up and head south for Chile

[A] [E] [A]

Heard tell of some trouble down there

Chorus 2

[D] [A]

And we're bound for the border, we're soldiers of fortune

[E] [E] [A]

Well, we'll fight for no country, but we'll die for good pay

[D] [A]

Under the flag of the greenback dollar

[A] [E] [A]

Or the peso down Mexico way

Chorus 3

[D] [A]

And we're bound for the border, we're soldiers of fortune

[E] [E] [A]

Well, we'll fight for no country, but we'll die for good pay

Under the flag of the greenback dollar

[A] [E] [A]

Or the peso down Mexico way

[Fading Outro]

[D] [A]

And we're bound for the border, we're soldiers of fortune

[E] [E] [A]

Well, we'll fight for no country, but we'll die for good pay

[D] [A]

Under the flag of the greenback dollar

[A] [E] [A]

Or the peso down Mexico way
