Intro
Verse 1
F# C#
I was 17, just a teenage kid,
B F#
The year that I enlisted.
C#
I can’t remember why I did,
B F#
My mom said that I insisted.
B F#
I had some strange idea then,
(walk down to) C#
That Uncle Sam was right.
F# C#
Oh momma cried, but she signed
B F#
the card, And then I went off to fight.
Verse 2
C#
Got off the plane in Vietnam,
B F#
It didn’t seem like war.
C#
With all I saw I started to wonder
B F#
what I had come there for.
B F#
Some officers got drunk at night,
B G#m C#
and cheated on their wife’s.
F# C#
And the peasants on the other side,
B F#
where just struggling for their lives.
Verse 3
C#
Oh the army tried some fancy stuff,
F#
to bring them to their knees.
C#
Like Agent Orange defoliant,
B F#
to kill the brush and tress.
B F#
We’d hike all day on jungle trails,
B G#m C#
through clouds of poison spray.
F# C#
And they never told me then,
B F#
that it would hurt my health today.
Chorus 1
B F#
But I got the news this morning,
B A#m C#
yeah, the doctors told me so.
F# C#
They killed me in Vietnam,
B F#
and I didn’t even know.
Verse 4
C#
Now I tried hard to forget the war
B F#
like everybody did.
C#
Settled down, got married
B F#
even had a of couple kids.
B F#
Well my children both had birth defects,
B G#m C#
and the doctors had their doubts.
F# C#
They never could understand it,
B F#
but I think I figured it out.
Chorus 2
B F#
cause I got the news this morning,
C#
yeah, the doctors told me so.
F# C#
They killed me in Vietnam,
B F#
and I didn’t even know.
Verse 5
C#
This Agent Orange from Vietnam,
F#
we carry it with us still.
C#
It stays inside for years and years
B G#m F#
before it starts to kill.
B F#
You might get cancer of the liver;
G#m C#
you might get cancer of the skin.
F# C#
You can file for disability,
B F#
but you might not live to win.
Chorus 3
B G#m F#
Oh I got the news this morning yeah,
B G#m C#
the doctors told me so.
F# C#
They killed me in Vietnam,
B F#
and I didn’t even know.
Verse 6
C#
Oh the doctor said I got some time,
B F#
trying to be kind.
C#
I’ve never been a radical,
F#
but this has changed my mind.
Outro
B G#m F#
Oh I’d be so proud to hear my kids
C#
say hell no I won’t go,
F# C#
Because you killed my dad in Vietnam,
B F#
and he didn’t even know.
B F#
Yes I’d be so proud to hear my kid
C#
say hell no I won’t go,
F# C#
Because you killed my dad in Vietnam
B F#
and he didn’t even know.
