[D]Listen old soldier where e[A]ver you [F#m]are
[G]Hills of the [D]valley's come near or come [A]far
You say y[D]outh is a treasure we w[A]aste when we're y[F#m]oung
So [G]come down from the p[D]lace where your medals are [A]hu[Gmaj7]ng
Your [G]forever return[A]ing and [D]learning to [Bm]fight
And you [G]feel just like an old [A]soldier tonig[Gmaj7]ht[F#m] [Bm]
[D]Listen old soldier cause [A]time doesn't [F#m]wait
[G]Moon's on your [D]shoulder the hour is la[A]te
[D]Something there inside still [A]calls out to [F#m]you
And you w[G]on't fade [D]away whatever you [A]do[Gmaj7]
Your [G]forever begin[A]ning barely wi[D]nning the [Bm]fight
You [G]feel just like an old [A]soldier to[G]ni[7]ght
[G]Your not getting any [A]younger t[F#m]hat much is [Gmaj7]true
