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