Verse 

G (320003@1)                      C (x32010@1)      DI`ll (xx0232@1)sing you a song how first we began, 
G (320003@1)                              C (x32010@1)         
Our toils and our troubles our plot and our plan. 
C, G/B, G6, Am7 (one stroke each)
Am7 (x02010@1)                           D (xx0232@1)We left our fair country, our friends and our homes, 
C, G/B, G6, Am7
Am7(hammer (x02010@1)on Dstrings).....D (xx0232@1)
Across to the deserts wild and the mountains to roll. 

We travelled three weeks `til we came to the platt. 
Set up our camp ahead of the pack, 
In just a moment low we heard a faint yell, 
Five hundred cavalry they were riding from hell. 

Chorus

G (320003@1)   C (x32010@1)     D (xx0232@1)Em7
We fight for favour, 
G (320003@1)     C (x32010@1)       Dwe (xx0232@1)will fight for pride, 
G (320003@1)         C (x32010@1)     D (xx0232@1)   Em7
And oh we will fight for favour, 
C (x32010@1)            D(hammer (xx0232@1)on Gstring) (320003@1)We will fight `til they die. 

They made a bold dash came near to our train, 
Bullets fell around like showers of rain, 
With long rifles at hand we fed them hot lead 
`Til many a brave warrior around us lay dead, 

Chr. 

We travel by day but guard in the night, 
Across all those mountains so high in their might, 
Now in a green valley we live beside a clear old stream, 
Our journey now ended in the land of our dreams, 

Chr.
