         Em                        D       Em    D    
   I'm a soldier of freedom in the army of man         
Em                              D         Em     D 
   We are the chosen, we're the partisan 
G      C                         D           Bm     G 
   The cause it is noble and the cause it is just 
Bm        C                           D     Bm     B 
   We are ready to pay with our lives if we must 
 

         C                     Am            D C D  Am C D   
   Gonna ride across the river deep and wide 
Bm C                            D         Em 
   Ride across the river to the other side 
 

Bm       Em                        D      Em   D 
   I'm a soldier of fortune, I'm a dog of war 
Em                                  D           Em   D 
   And we don't give a damn who the killing is for 
G           C                     D         Bm     G 
   It's the same old story with a different name 
Bm C                        D       Bm 
   Death or glory, it's the killing game 
 

         C                     Am            D C D  Am C D   
   Gonna ride across the river deep and wide 
Bm C                            D         Em 
   Ride across the river to the other side 
 

   Em                             D               Em    D 
   Nothing gonna stop them as the day follows the night 
Em                               D                 Em    D 
   Right becomes wrong, the left becomes the right 
G           C                             D       Bm      G 
   And they sing as they march with their flags unfurled 
Bm   C                     D            Bm 
   Today in the mountains, tomorrow the world 
 

         C                     Am            D C D  Am C D   
   Gonna ride across the river deep and wide 
Bm C                            D         Em 
   Ride across the river to the other side
