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