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