Onward Christian Soldiers Chords

(ver. 1)
Martin Smith
It's not an exact tab, as I don't like doing the key change so early in the song. 
But this is how the band plays it at church. Enjoy!!

Soldiers--Martin Smith

Intro:  /C#m     /         /F#m      /          /    
¼ kicks!! /C#m     /          /F#m       /            /        

Verse 1:
C#m                              F#m
We are Your salvation army 
                             C#m
Laying down our weapons 
                        F#m
Marching into battle 

Scarred and broken


Pre-Chorus 1:
A                                               C#m
We are Your kingdom, not an empire
                                A
Burning with Your fire
                            C#m           B
We were born to love and to war


Chorus: 
E                            B       C#m
Onward Christian soldiers 
           A                         E
We're laying down our lives 
           B                  A
We're lifting Jesus high 
     E                    B       C#m
Together we are stronger 
           A                    E
We're giving up our lives 
     B                       (C#m)
So let the Church arise      

Instr: /C#m     /          /F#m       /            /     2x   

Verse 3:
C#m                              F#m
On our shoulders we will carry 
                                      C#m
The wounded from the wreckage 
                                         F#m
Crowns and thrones will perish

But You remain 


Pre-Chorus 2:
      A                                  C#m
We live for justice not for honor
                                            A
Your Church will stand forever 
                            C#m           B
We were born to love and to war
