Mercenary Song by Steve Earle [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
