Mercenary Song
By: Steve Earle
I added the chords to the rest of the song.

G
Me and old Bill there we both come from Georgia
D G
Met Hank down 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
G
When this way 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
Hear tell there's some trouble down there
Chorus: x2
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
