[Verse]
    F#m               Bm
The sun rose over the wasteland
   F#m        Bm      F#m
As far as the eye can see
                              Bm
Sand fills the vast plains of Serkland
     A                   C#
It's vultures jeering at me
              F#m     E        A
But they can circle until they drop dead
  Bm                 E
I have not come this far
   F#m         E         D   Bm
To end, but to pursue my own thread
   C#
To join The Varangian Guard

[Chorus]
F#m       A     B      F#m
Guards of glory and of might
D      A         E        C#
Red as blood and black as night
F#m       A      B     C#m
Flies our banner as we march
       D                         F#m
In the East, for the king of the Greek

[Verse]
        F#m                      Bm
There's men of the cross and the hammer
  F#m        Bm       F#m
A few of the moon crescent
                         Bm
Men simply searching for glamour
        A                   C#
Some concealing their royal descent
                F#m             E          A
The axe-bearing foreigners they have aptly named us
Bm                  E
All we've come from afar
  F#m     E         D    Bm
Diversity is what unites us
   C#
We are The Varangian Guard

[Chorus]
F#m       A     B      F#m
Guards of glory and of might
D      A         E        C#
Red as blood and black as night
F#m       A      B     C#m
Flies our banner as we march
       D                         F#m
In the East, for the king of the Greek
