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