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;

[ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/u/usmc/95927.html ]
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;

First to fight for right and free -dom, and to keep our hon-or clean;
In the snow of far off North-ern lands, and in sun-ny trop-ic scenes;
If the Ar-my and the Na--vy, ever look on Heav-en's scenes;

We are proud to claim the ti-tle, of U -ni -ted States Ma-rine.
You will find us al-ways on the job, the U-ni-ted States Ma-rines.
They will find the streets are guard--ed, by U-ni-ted States Ma-rines.
