[Verse 1]
C G D C
Torn by the thorns, burned by the sun;
C G Em D
Footsore and weary, a job to be done.
G D C G
Suffering cold, and danger, and thirst;
C G D G
No thought of himself, his country comes first.
[Chorus]
C G D G
The troopie, the troopie, the pride of the land;
C G Em D
His image was carved by an old sculptor's hand.
G D C G
Preachers and poets have all paid respect,
G D C G
And the nation will, too, if they never forget.
C G D G
[Verse 2]
C G D C
His statue was placed on such holy ground,
C G Em D
With comrades in arms all gathered around.
G D C G
All were so proud, but one of them cried,
C G D G
For the troopie looked just like a friend who had died.
[Chorus]
C G D G
The troopie, the troopie, the pride of the land;
C G Em D
His image was carved by an old sculptor's hand.
G D C G
Preachers and poets have all paid respect,
G D C G
And the nation will, too, if they never forget.
C G D G
[Verse 3]
C G D C
The troopie stands tall, his battle is won.
C G Em D
His eyes ever forward, through rain, wind, and sun.
G D C G
The face of a boy, who can fight like a lion,
C G D G
A legend to last through the eons of time.
[Chorus]
C G D G
The troopie, the troopie, the pride of the land;
C G Em D
His image was carved by an old sculptor's hand.
G D C G
Preachers and poets have all paid respect,
G D C G
And the nation will, too, if they never forget.
C G D G
The troopie, the troopie, the pride of the land;
C G Em D
His image was carved by an old sculptor's hand.
G D C G
Preachers and poets have all paid respect,
G D C G
And the nation will, too, if they never forget.
