Am               C 
I came out out to the desert 
F                          Am 
To find what I lost in your eyes  
Am                        C 
I filled my lungs with the sunset  
F                      Am 
And walked out into the night  

Am              C 
I am a wandering soldier  
F           Am 
In this dusty land 
Am                             C 
Nothing but the torn clothes on my back  
F                         Am 
And the empty barrel in my hand  

F                       Am 
"Onwards, broken-hearted soldier  
G             Am 
Into the great unknown  
F                        Am 
Lay down your weapons and follow  
G                    Am 
Into the light of the sun"  

Am                      C 
When I couldn't walk any further  
F                   Am          
I fell to my knees to pray  
Am                    C 
With my final breath I cried out  
F                          Am 
In the blowing wind I heard you say  

F                     Am 
"Onwards, onwards good soldier  
G             Am 
Into the great unknown  
F                       Am 
Hear the golden trumpets sounding  
G                        Am 
Calling the tired soldiers home  

F                      Am 
Onwards, broken-hearted soldier  
G             Am 
Into the great unknown  
F                    Am 
Lay down your weapons and follow  
G                    Am 
Into the light of the sun  

F                    Am 
Onwards, onwards good soldier  
G             Am 
Into the great unknown  
F                       Am 
Hear the golden trumpets sounding  
G                         Am 
Calling the tired soldiers home"  

Am               C 
I came out to the desert  
F                          Am 
To find what I lost in your eyes  
Am                        C 
I filled my lungs with the sunset  
F                      Am 
And walked out into the night
