🎸 Onward Christian Soldiers chords by Smith Martin

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!!

Verse 1:
C#m               F#m
We are Your salvation army

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

We were born to love and to war


Chorus:
E              B    C#m
Onward Christian soldiers

We're lifting Jesus high
   E          B    C#m

So let the Church arise

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

We were born to love and to war
