[Verse 1]
  C                  D7
I joined the Foreign Legion
    C         D        G
One Thursday, cold and wet
  Em           A7
I think it was December
C             D7
But you must remember


[Chorus 1]
  Gmaj7                          Emadd9
I joined the Foreign Legion to forget
Joined the Foreign Legion
Gmaj7
Joined the Foreign Legion
  Emadd9
I joined the Foreign Legion


[Verse 2]
  C                  D7
I joined the Foreign Legion
   C      D    G
La Légion Étrangère
    Em            A7
One sultry day in July
C                 D7
Back when I still knew why


[Chorus 2]
  Gmaj7                        Emadd9
I joined the Foreign Legion anyway
Joined the Foreign Legion
Gmaj7
Joined the Foreign Legion
  Emadd9
I joined the Foreign Legion


[Solo]

[Verse 3]
  C                  D7
I joined the Foreign Legion
  C      D      G
Became a legionnaire
   Em                 A7
We marched to far off regions
   C               D7
To forts we'd be besieged in

[Chorus 3]
     Gmaj7                      Emadd9    C
Then one day I forgot why I was theeeeeeeere


[Verse 4]
  C                  D7
I joined the Foreign Legion
    C    D     G
Somebody to forget
    Em               A7
She said I'd find it easier
C          D7
If I had amnesia


[Chorus 4]
Gmaj7                     Emadd9
Who she was, I do not recollect
  Bm                 C      D     Gmaj7
I joined the Foreign Legion to forget
Joined the Foreign Legion
  Emadd9
I joined the Foreign Legion
      Gmaj7
To forget
Joined the Foreign Legion
  Emadd9
I joined the Foreign Legion
