The Eagle and the Bear
written by Kris Kristofferson


INTRO: A  E  A  E

A                               E
I will fight and I will die for freedom
A                        E
Up against an eagle or a bear
A                                E
I will help my brother and we'll sink or swim together
D                                    B7
If you don't like it mister, I don't care


'Cause I have served with honor in the army
I have been a soldier overseas
I have seen my fatherland stagger like a dyin' man
Blinded and bewildered by disease


And I ain't gonna take it any longer
I can't look around it anymore
I'll defend what I believe in a land of liberty
Like my father did before


CHORUS:
A                         E 
I'll just pray to god for Nicaragua
        A                      E
And the sorrow of El Salvador today
         A                         E
And I'll say until the day we free Mandela
F#                       B
All the world will be in chains


I will fight and I will die for freedom
Up against an eagle or a bear
I will help my brother and we'll sink or swim together
If you don't like it mister I don't care


CHORUS
