[Intro] Emadd9 C D Emadd9 Cadd9 Dsus2 (x8) [Verse 1]
Em               C             G                   D      Em
It's the same in every country when you say you're leaving

               C                  G             D   Em
Left behind my loved ones waiting silent in the hall

                   C              G           D       Em
Where you're going lies adventure others only dream of

                    C                 G            D
Red and green light this is real, and so you go to war
[Pre-Chorus]
        Em               C
For the passion, for the glory

        G                 D
For the memories, for the money

         Em                C
You're a soldier, for your country

           G                   D
What's the difference? All the same
[Chorus]
Em   C            G           D    Em
Far away from the land of our birth

         C       G            D    Em
We fly a flag in some foreign earth

           C            G         D
We sailed away like our fathers before

      Em            C        G           D
These colours don't run from cold bloody war
[Re-Intro] Emadd9 C D Emadd9 Cadd9 Dsus2 (x2) [Verse 2]
Em              C                   G             D     Em
There is no one that will save you, going down in flames

              C                  G              D  Em
No surrender, certain death, you look it in the eye

                 C            G               D   Em
On the shores of tyranny, you crashed a human wave

              C                 G               D
Paying for my freedom with your lonely unmarked graves
[Pre-Chorus]
        Em               C
For the passion, for the glory

        G                 D
For the memories, for the money

         Em                C
You're a soldier, for your country

           G                   D
What's the difference? All the same
[Chorus]
Em   C            G           D    Em
Far away from the land of our birth

         C       G            D    Em
We fly a flag in some foreign earth

           C            G         D
We sailed away like our fathers before

      Em            C        G           D
These colours don't run from cold bloody war

Far away from the land of our birth

We fly a flag in some foreign earth

           C            G         D
We sailed away like our fathers before

These colours don't run from cold bloody war

Far away from the land of our birth

We fly a flag in some foreign earth

           C            G         D
We sailed away like our fathers before

      Em            C        G           D
These colours don't run from cold bloody war

      Em            C        G           D
These colours don't run from cold bloody war
