Standard (EADGBE)

Ticket to the world, learn a trade or two

Hey now, it suits me somehow

How 'bout you

Freeze me in the wind, burn me in the sun

Hey ho, on with the show

Good clean fun

After it all I'll take you home, after this dream has gone

If we're lucky we'll never be called to stand again

Defenders of the peace with all we've got

Someone has to fire the warning shot

Masters of the air, rulers of the sea

Hey hey our turn today

Victory

Nothing you can lose, everything to gain

Hey guys, try it for size

This ball and chain

After it all I'll take you home, after this dream has gone

If we're lucky we'll never be called to stand again

Defenders of the peace with all we've got

Someone has to fire the warning shot

[Intro riff again on 'Shot']

[Solo over verse chords]

Teach all your children to follow the leader

Do as he says without question or reason

Fight for the flag and to hell with the rest

Surrender your freedom to serve with the best

After it all I'll take you home, after this dream has gone

If we're lucky we'll never be called to stand again

Defenders of the peace with all we've got

Someone has to fire the warning...

After it all I'll take you home, after this dream has gone

If we're lucky we'll never be called to stand again

Defenders of the peace with all we've got

Someone has to fire the warning shot
