written by Kris Kristofferson

from the album "Third World Warrior"

tabbed 10/6/05

INTRO: A E A E

A E

I will fight and I will die for freedom

A E

Up against an eagle or a bear

A E

I will help my brother and we'll sink or swim together

D B7

If you don't like it mister, I don't care

'Cause I have served with honor in the army

I have been a soldier overseas

I have seen my fatherland stagger like a dyin' man

Blinded and bewildered by disease

And I ain't gonna take it any longer

I can't look around it anymore

I'll defend what I believe in a land of liberty

Like my father did before

CHORUS:

A E

I'll just pray to god for Nicaragua

A E

And the sorrow of El Salvador today

A E

And I'll say until the day we free Mandela

F# B

All the world will be in chains

I will fight and I will die for freedom

Up against an eagle or a bear

I will help my brother and we'll sink or swim together

If you don't like it mister I don't care

CHORUS
