C              F      C                G
Ticket to the world, learn a trade or two
 F   G       C            F
Hey now, it suits me somehow
 G         C
How 'bout you

Freeze me in the wind, burn me in the sun
Hey ho, on with the show
Good clean fun

Chorus:
C        F         G        F
After it all I'll take you home,
C            F        G
after this dream has gone
          F           C        F         E7     Am
If we're lucky we'll never be called to stand again
   F              C         G         Am
Defenders of the peace with all we've got
 F              C        G       C
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

Chorus

G                           G 
Teach all your children to follow the leader
 C                     Cm  
Do as he says without question or reason
G                          G 
Fight for the flag and to hell with the rest
    C                      F              G
Surrender your freedom to serve with the best

Chorus:
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
