Intro
Verse 1
F C
I was 17, just a teenage kid,
A# F
The year that I enlisted.
C
I can’t remember why I did,
A# F
My mom said that I insisted.

I had some strange idea then,
(walk down to) C

Oh momma cried, but she signed
A# F
the card, And then I went off to fight.
Verse 2
C
Got off the plane in Vietnam,
A# F
It didn’t seem like war.
C
With all I saw I started to wonder
A# F
what I had come there for.
A# F
Some officers got drunk at night,
A# Gm C
and cheated on their wife’s.
F C
And the peasants on the other side,
A# 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,
A# F
to kill the brush and tress.
A# F
We’d hike all day on jungle trails,
A# Gm C
through clouds of poison spray.
F C
And they never told me then,
A# F
that it would hurt my health today.
Chorus 1
A# F
But I got the news this morning,
A# Am C
yeah, the doctors told me so.

A# F
and I didn’t even know.
Verse 4
C
Now I tried hard to forget the war
A# F
like everybody did.
C
Settled down, got married
A# F
even had a of couple kids.
A# F
Well my children both had birth defects,
A# Gm C
and the doctors had their doubts.
F C
They never could understand it,
A# F
but I think I figured it out.
Chorus 2
A# F
cause I got the news this morning,
C
yeah, the doctors told me so.
F C
They killed me in Vietnam,
A# 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
A# Gm F
before it starts to kill.
A# F
You might get cancer of the liver;
Gm C
you might get cancer of the skin.
F C
You can file for disability,
A# F
but you might not live to win.
Chorus 3
A# Gm F
Oh I got the news this morning yeah,
A# Gm C
the doctors told me so.
F C
They killed me in Vietnam,
A# F
and I didn’t even know.
Verse 6
C
Oh the doctor said I got some time,
A# F
trying to be kind.
C
I’ve never been a radical,
F
but this has changed my mind.
Outro
A# Gm 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,
A# F
and he didn’t even know.

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
A# F
and he didn’t even know.
