Gmaj7  F#m  Bm    Gmaj7 F#m Bm   Gmaj7  F#m  Bm

D                          A       F#m
Listen old soldier  where ever you are
G            D                          A
Hills of the valley's come near or come far
         D                      A                F#m
You say youth is a treasure we waste when we're young
   G                   D                          A Gmaj7
So come down from the place where your medals are hung
     G             A       D           Bm
Your forever returning and learning to fight
        G                     A            Gmaj7 F#m Bm
And you feel just like an old soldier tonight
D                        A            F#m
Listen old soldier cause time doesn't wait
G              D                      A
Moon's on your shoulder the hour is late
D                            A            F#m
Something there inside still calls out to you
         G         D                 A  Gmaj7
And you won't fade away whatever you do
     G            A             D         Bm
Your forever beginning barely winning the fight
    G                     A         Gmaj 7
You feel just like an old soldier tonight
G                    A        F#m         Gmaj7
Your not getting any younger that much is true
G                       A      F#m        Gmaj7
But your still got that hunger burning in you
Asus
So what'll you do now

Harmonica

Asus                    Gmaj F#m Bm
So what'll you do now


D                         A             F#m
Listen old soldier to the sound in your ear
   G        D                    A
Of too many battles for too many years
D                              A           F#m
There's only one thing you've  learned  in defeat
        G         D                    A  Gmaj7
Is that losing is bitter and victor is sweet
G            A             D         Bm
Your always unraveling and traveling lite
    G                    A        G
And you feel like an old soldier tonight
     G                   A       Gmaj 7  F#m Bm
And you feel like an old soldier tonight
