[Verse]
G Me and old Bill there we both come from Georgia D G Met Hank out in New Mexico G We're bound for Durango to join Pancho Villa D G We hear that he's paying in gold G I guess a man's got to do what he's best at D G Ain't found nothing better so far G Been called mercenaries and men with no country D G Just soldiers in search of a war
[Chorus]
C We're bound for the border G We're soldiers of fortune D We'll fight for no country G But we'll die for good pay C G Under the flag of the greenback dollar D G Or the peso down Mexico way
[Instrumental]

[Verse]
G When this war is over, I might go back to Georgia D G And settle down quiet somewhere G I'll most likely pack up and head south for Chile D G Heard tell there's some trouble down there
[Chorus]
C We're bound for the border G We're soldiers of fortune D We'll fight for no country G But we'll die for good pay C G Under the flag of the greenback dollar D G Or the peso down Mexico way C We're bound for the border G We're soldiers of fortune D We'll fight for no country G But we'll die for good pay C G Under the flag of the greenback dollar D G Or the peso down Mexico way
[Outro]
C We're bound for the border G We're soldiers of fortune D We'll fight for no country G But we'll die for good pay C G Under the flag of the greenback dollar D G Or the peso down Mexico way (Fade out)
