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 Em 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 Em 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 F#m 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 Em 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 Em D
before it starts to kill.
G D
You might get cancer of the liver;
Em 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 Em D
Oh I got the news this morning yeah,
G Em 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 Em 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.
