Steve Earle - Mercenary Song guitar chord

(G) Me and old Bill there we both come from Georgia

Met Hank down in (D) New Mexico (G)

We're (G) bound for Durango to join Pancho Villa

We hear that he's (D) paying in (G) gold

I guess a man's got to do what he's best at

Ain't found nothing better so far

Been called mercenaries and men with no country

Just soldiers in search of a war

CHORUS

We're (C) bound for the border

We're (G) soldiers of fortune

We'll (D) fight for no country

But we'll (G) die for good pay

(C) Under the flag of the (G) greenback dollar

Or the peso down (D) Mexico (G) way

When this way is over, I might go back to Georgia

And settle down quiet somewhere

I'll most likely pack up and head south for Chile

Hear tell there's some trouble down there

REPEAT CHORUS TWICE
