[Verse]
                 A             Bm         G
Oh, you poor old soldier, what will you become
             A           D               G            A
When there's no one left marching to the beat of your drum?
    Em             A                          D
You fought all the battles and survived every one

Old soldier march on, march on

[Verse]
         D            A           Bm            G
Will you join all the wounded old soldiers like you
      A            D          G            A
And reflect on the glory like old soldiers do?
             Em           A                        D
But will you tell of your comrades as they tell of you?
    G             A         D
Old soldier march on, march on

[Bridge]
         G           Em7         A
Will you relive each battle with toy tin soldiers
        D              C          G
So that those who were lost can survive?
         A               D          A          D
Will you still see those eyes under dark smoky skies?
         Em7                    A
All your comrades who kept you alive

             A           D               G            A
When there's no one left marching to the beat of your drum?
         Em            A                            D
Will the band still be playing as you lay down your gun?
    G             A         Bm
Old soldier march on, march on
    G             A         D
Old soldier march on, march on
