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