I joined the Foreign Legion
    Bm        Bm7      Em
One Thursday, cold and wet
  Am           Bm7
I think it was December
Cmaj7          D6
But you must remember

   Bm     Bm7  Em
La Légion Étrangère
    Am            Bm7
One sultry day in July
Cmaj7             D6
Back when I still knew why


[Chorus 2]
  Gmaj7                        Emadd9
I joined the Foreign Legion anyway
Joined the Foreign Legion

I joined the Foreign Legion
  Bm      Bm7  Em
Became a legionnaire
   Am                 Bm7
We marched to far off regions
   Cmaj7           D6
To forts we'd be besieged in

[Chorus 3]
     Gmaj7                      Emadd9    Cmaj7
Then one day I forgot why I was theeeeeeeere

    Bm   Bm7   Em
Somebody to forget
    Am               Bm7
She said I'd find it easier
Cmaj7       D6
If I had amnesia


[Chorus 4]
Gmaj7                     Emadd9
Who she was, I do not recollect
  Bm7                Cmaj7  D6   Gmaj7   
I joined the Foreign Legion to forget
Joined the Foreign Legion
  Emadd9            
I joined the Foreign Legion
      Gmaj7
To forget
Joined the Foreign Legion
  Emadd9
I joined the Foreign Legion
