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