I tabbed this from the sheet music...this is only the theme, it's in E flat major. The
verse matches the lyrics with the notes (each note is a word or a syllable), so the
doesn't exactly match the melody...however, it's a tab so you should know the melody!

From the halls of Mon-te-zu -ma, to the shores of trip-o-li;
Our- flag's un-furl'd to ev-'ry breeze, from dawn to set-ting sun;
Here's health to you and to our Corps, which we are proud to serve;

We fight our count-try's bat-tles, in the air, on land and sea;
We have fought in ev-'ry clime and place, where we could take a gun;
In- many a strife we've fought for life, and never lost our nerve;
