Chords for Calvin Russell - Soldier (Live - Acoustic)

[G] _ [A] _ _ _ _ [Am] _ Well, I was going to try some other new stuff off that album, but goddamn, I'm so nervous
here, I can't believe it.
So I want to do some stuff I'm more familiar with, like _ _ _ this one that's, _ _ _ _ _ _
[B] like this one
that [Am] kind of came about subconsciously, and I didn't even know what in the hell it was
about until after it was written.
And then even a year [A] after that, after I kept singing it, until somebody told me about what
it was [Am] about, and now I understand it, so [A] it's_ _
_ _ [F] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [F] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _
I'm just a [F] person, _ _ _ [G] _
and I don't claim no [Am] country, _ _ _ _ I just don't need a [F] flag to _ [G] _
say who [Am] I am. _ _ _ _
Well I come from my [F] mama, _ _ _ [G] _
like [Am] you and your brother. _ _ _ _
This world is [F] ours, _ _ _ [G] _
and it's all in [A] your hand. _ _ _ _
Well I'm just a [F] soldier, _ _ _ [G] _
and I'm fighting [Am] that sorrow, _ _ [A] _ _ _
holding [F] my head up high.
_ _ [G] _
I won't beg, steal, or [Am] borrow, _ _ _ _ _ cause if not [F] today, _ _ _ [G] _ _
if not [F] today, _ _ _ [G] _ _
if not [F] today, then [Am] maybe tomorrow. _ _
_ _ [F] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ [Am] _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ _ [F] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ [Am] _
[A] Now we're only [F] humans, _ _ _ [G] _
so we make our [Am] excuses. _ _ _ _
How about this one thing that [F] we all know, _ _ _ [G] _
one [D] thing you can [Am] see. _ _ _ _
[A] Now it might be too [F] late to [G] _ _
ever change where they're [Am] going, _ _ _ _ [E] but in your [F] own mind, _ _ [G] you know
you still have to try and [Am] be free.
_ _ _ Yeah, I'm just a [F] soldier, _ _ _ [G] _ and I'm fighting that [A] sorrow, [Am] _ _ [A] _ _ holding my [F] head up high.
_ _ [G] _ I won't beg, steal, [Am] or borrow, _ _ _ _ cause if [D] not [F] today, _ _ _ [G] _ _ if not [F] today, _ _ _ [G] _ if not [F] today, it's gotta [A] be tomorrow.
_ _ _ [F] _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [F] And that's my, what it is, what I found out that that song means is that is what we're
trying to ascend to.
And I know people around the United States are going, oh this one world thing, this one
world, and they're all scared of that because some kind of _ [A] wording in some kind of bible somewhere.
Maybe that's one thing, but _ people, we have to quit being nationalistic and be, this is
one world, and it has to be that way.
