Prelude:

The eagle born to those who pledged their lives and sacred honor
was smiled upon by God and freed from chains and iron collar
he is held aloft on unity and by history revered, for preserving peace
through strength his wings now reach across two hundred years
But for each of those and one year more, God has smiled upon the Corps,
from the Barbary coast to the eastern sand, by sword, by gun, or by bare hand.
So it's been and shall be weighed, though many are born, few are "made".
Faithful Always, they shall remain, dogs to loose when war is waged.


I am a Marine on the beach I'm a killing machine with the need to bleed you when the light goes green, best believe, I'm in a zone to be, from my Yin to my Yang to my Yang Tze. Put a grin on my chin, come to me, 'cuz I'll win, I'm a one-of-a-kind and I'll bring death to the place you're about to be: another river of blood runnin' under my feet. Forged in a fire lit long ago, stand next to me, you'll never stand alone. I'm last to leave, but the first to go, Hard Corps is the only way I know, I feed on the fear of the devil inside of the enemy faces in my sights: aim with the hand, shoot with the mind, kill with a heart like arctic ice

I am a DevilDog, I'm marching on!
I am a DevilDog, I'm marching on.
I am a warrior and this is my song.
I am a warrior and this is my song!

I bask in the glow of the rising war, lay waste to the ground of the enemy shore, wade through the blood spilled on the floor, and if another one stands, I'll kill some more. Bullet in the breech and a fire in me, like a cigarette thrown to gasoline, if death don't bring you fear then death ain't brought by no Marine. Come to the nightmare, come to me, deep down in the dark where the devil be, in the maw with the jaws and the razor teeth, where the brimstone burns and the angel weeps. Call to the gods if I cross your path and my silhouette hangs like a body bag; hope is a moment now long past, the shadow of death is the one I cast.

I am a DevilDog, I'm marching on.
I am a warrior and this is my song!
Hell has no demon I won't over come!
I am a warrior and this is my song!

"For more then 200 years our Corps has done two things for this great nation. we make Marines, and we win battles!"

--Chesty Puller

Ooh Rah!

Never forget that. "You are first marines. And not communist in hell can over run you!"

--Chesty Puller

Now I live lean and I mean to inflict the grief, and the least of me's still out of your reach. The killing machine's gonna do the deed, until the river runs dry and my last breath leaves. Chin in the air with a head held high, I'll stand in the path of the enemy line. Feel no fear, know my pride: for God and Country I'll end your life.

I am a DevilDog, I'm marching on.
I am a warrior and this is my song!
Hell has no demon I won't over come!
I am a warrior and this is my song!
I'll make the devil himself turn and run!
I am a warrior and this is my song!
Into the fire I will keep marching on.
Ooh Rah! Marine Corps, Get Some!

"Now take me to the brig So I can see the real marines..."

--Chesty Puller

Drill Instructor: Good night Chesty, Where ever you are...

  • Due to numerous requests from various guitarists over the years, I will soon be posting the isolated tracks from The Warrior Song Hard Corps. Since I can't write tablature, I thought this would be the next best thing. You will be able to hear ALL the guitars clearly and hopefully able to better figure out what Tom originally played on the song.

    "And God said, let there be Marines, and the Devil turned and ran"
  • A soldier once said the deadliest thing you could find in a battlefield is a dead marine. the reason why is where there’s one dead one there’s a thousand live ones searching for him and when they see you standing next to him they aren’t going to be happy.

    Every society needs it’s warriors. Pray for peace but never sell your sword.
  • They stole the eagle from the Air Force and the anchor from the Navy. On the 7th day when God rested, they breached his perimeter and stole the globe and the Marines have been running the show ever since.
