[Intro]
E  C  G F#


[Verse]
E
It was back in the summer of '83

There's a reason I remember it well
C
I was slipping and sliding, drinkin' and drivin'

                      G F# E   C   G F#
Bringin' me closer to Hell
E
And the Devil sat in the passenger's side

Of Delorean's automobile
C
He said, "Hey Frehley, Frehley let's not be silly

There's a life out there to steal"


[Chorus]
E
Rock soldiers come
C
And rock soldiers go
A
And some hear the drum
D
And some never know
E                        C     A
Rock soldiers! How do we know?

                              A A G
Ace is back and he told you so.

E    C    G   F#


[Verse]
E
With a trooper in the mirror

and Satan on my right
C
We went the wrong way down a one way road

                        G F# E
Hitting everything in sight
E
I cried "I am invincible"

Said I was high above the law
C
But my only high was just a lie

                   G F#
And now I'm glad I saw


[Chorus]
E
Rock soldiers come
C
And rock soldiers go
A
And some hear the drum
D
And some never know
E                        C     A
Rock soldiers! How do we know?

                              A A G
Ace is back and he told you so.

A A A G
       Calling rock soldiers
A A A G
       You! Rock soldiers
A A A G
       Calling rock soldiers
A A A B
       hard rock soldiers

E
Friends say they'll stay with you

Right through that danger zone
C
But the closer you get to that fiery hole

                         G F#
You'll have to make it alone
E
When I think of how my life was spared

From that near fatal wreck
C
If the Devil wants to play his card game now
N.C.
He's gonna have to play without an Ace in his deck!!


[Chorus]
E
Rock soldiers come
C
And rock soldiers go
A
And some hear the drum
D
And some never know
E                        C     A
Rock soldiers! How do we know?

                              A A G
Ace is back and he told you so.
