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