🤘 Verse 1:
Em               C             G                   D      Em
It's the same in every country when you say you're leaving
               C                  G             D   Em
Left behind my loved ones waiting silent in the hall
                   C              G           D       Em
Where you're going lies adventure others only dream of
                    C                 G            D
Red and green light this is real, and so you go to war

🤘 Pre-Chorus:
        Em               C
For the passion, for the glory
        G                 D
For the memories, for the money
         Em                C
You're a soldier, for your country
           G                   D
What's the difference? All the same


🤘 Chorus:
Em   C            G           D    Em
Far away from the land of our birth
         C       G            D    Em
We fly a flag in some foreign earth
           C            G         D
We sailed away like our fathers before
      Em            C        G           D
These colours don't run from cold bloody war

🤘 Verse 2:
Em              C                   G             D     Em
There is no one that will save you, going down in flames
              C                  G              D  Em
No surrender, certain death, you look it in the eye
                 C            G               D   Em
On the shores of tyranny, you crashed a human wave
              C                 G               D
Paying for my freedom with your lonely unmarked graves


🤘 Pre-Chorus:
        Em               C
For the passion, for the glory
        G                 D
For the memories, for the money
         Em                C
You're a soldier, for your country
           G                   D
What's the difference? All the same


🤘 Chorus:
Em   C            G           D    Em
Far away from the land of our birth
         C       G            D    Em
We fly a flag in some foreign earth
           C            G         D
We sailed away like our fathers before
      Em            C        G           D
These colours don't run from cold bloody war
