Old Soldiers Never Die

guitar chords lyrics

Gene Autry

Old soldiers never die
Never die, never die
Old soldiers never die

They just fade away.
On the seventh day of december
In the year of forty-one
The free world met disaster
At the hands of the rising sun
From the bastions of corregidor
Pearl harbor and bataan
Came the sound of war and fury
And the death march of free man.
Old soldiers never die
Never die, never die
Old soldiers never die

Old soldiers never die
Never die, never die
Old soldiers never die
They just fade away.
Then from the land of way down under
A mighty voice did say
Our cause is just, in god we trust
I will return someday
From mindanao to tarawa
Our battle song it grew
Untill on surabachi
At last old glory flew.
Old soldiers never die
Never die, never die
Old soldiers never die
They just fade away.
From Iwo, Leyte, and a thousand isles
Our just cause never ceased
Until one day, he did return
And once more, there was peace
Now somewhere, there stands the man
His duty o'er and won
The world will never forget him
To him we say, "well done."
Old soldiers never die
Never die, never die
Old soldiers never die
They just fade away.
fade away
fade away
