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