🎸 Verse 1:
F#                              E/F#
  Standing on the battle lines, don't know if I'll live or die,
      B                      F#
I'm a soldier fighting to go home.
F#                                  E/F#
  All this warfare great and small, someday will be worth it all,

I'm a soldier fighting to go home.

🎸 Chorus 1: 
          C#              C#/B          F#/A#             B
Soon I'll lay this weapon down and I'll leave this battle ground
    G#m                  C#               F#        F#
and march right down the main street back   at home.
        C#          C#/B         F#/A#          B
Where a celebration waits, I can see each happy face,
                 G#m                 F#/A#     C#sus4 C#
but there's more work to do and this war isn't done,

I'm a soldier fighting to go home.

  I've been wounded, I've been scarred with the night so long and hard,
      C                      G
I'm a soldier fighting to go home.
G                                             F/G
  I've walked through valleys dark and steep, weary days with little sleep,

I'm a soldier fighting to go   home.

    Am                   D                G         G
and march right down the main street back   at home.
        D           D/C          G/B            C
Where a celebration waits, I can see each happy face,
                 Am             G/B            Dsus4 D
but there's more work to do and this war isn't done,

C                                               Bb/C
  There's been sickness there's been pain but a soldier never does complain
            F            Fm             C
when he's a soldier just fighting to go   home.
       C                               Em
Though this old world tries it's best, I will never stop to rest,
            F       G              C         C
cause I'm a soldier fighting to go   home.

End-🎸 Chorus: 
          G              G/F            C/E            F
Soon I'll lay this armor down, trade it for a robe and crown,
Dm              G                  C         C
take my victory march down streets   of gold.
        G           G/F          C/E               F
Where a celebration waits just inside those pearly gates
      Dm              C/E             Gsus4     G
but until the captain calls me to his throne,
       Dm              C/E         F          F
yes, until the captain calls me to his throne
      Dm                     C       C     F/C
I'm a soldier fighting to go home,
F/C            C C   F     (F)       C        C
fighting to go home,   just fighting to go home.
Bb/C Bb/C     F/C Fm/C    C
