{key: }
[G] Me and old Bill there we both come from Georgia
Met Hank down in [D] New Mexi [G]co
We're [G] bound for Durango to join Pancho Villa
We hear that he's [D] paying in [G] gold
[G] I guess a man's got to do what he's best at
Ain't found nothing [D] better so [G] far
Been called mercenaries and men with no country
Just soldiers in [D] search of a [G] war
CHORUS
We're [C] bound for the border
We're [G] soldiers of fortune
We'll [D] fight for no country
But we'll [G] die for good pay
[C] Under the flag of the [G] greenback dollar
Or the peso down [D] Mexico [G] way
[G] When this way is over, I might go back to Georgia
And settle down [D] quiet some [G] where
I'll most likely pack up and head south for Chile
Hear tell there's some [D] trouble down [G] there
REPEAT CHORUS TWICE
