Verse
C#
Now, he didn't ask to go
G#
But Ol' Sammy called his number
Fm
He boarded that old Greyhound bus
F#
And said goodbye to his mother
C#
Headed for Fort Benning, Georgia
G#
Basic training in the summer
Fm
He said "I was young and tough
F#
But that ol' drill sergeant was tougher"
C# G#
Yellin, y'all gonna learn how to suffer
Fm
I'm gonna make a man of all you chumps
F#
They shaved his head and gave him a number
[Chorus]
C# G#
U.S. 5 3 4 3 5 3 1 9
A#m
In army green with an M-16
F#
In 1965
C#
He was fighting for me
G#
Way before my time
A#m
When he sees Ol' Glory raised
F# C#
He still cries like it's 1965
G# Fm F#
Yeah, 1965
[Verse 2]
C#
Now he didn't ask to go
G#
But them Hueys dropped him off, and
That's when the enemy got real
F#
Body bags headed for coffins
C# G#
He didn't know how much being an American would cost him
He said "we were young and we were rough
F#
But sometimes those Viet Cong were also"
C# G#
And they sure knew how to suffer
We were all married to our guns
F#
The fear of death, and a number
[Chorus]

U.S. 5 3 4 3 5 3 1 9

In army green with an M-16
F#
In 1965

He was fighting for me
G#
Way before my time
A#m
When he sees Ol' Glory raised
F# C#
He still cries like it's 1965
G#
'65, oh
[Bridge]
Fm F#
And then one day his little grandson jumped up on his lap
C#
Saw a bunch of medals that were in a frame

And said, "Were you in the war grandpa?"
He said "Yeah"
Fm
He said "Were you scared?
Did you kill anybody?"
Nah
F#
"How'd you do it?"
He just laughed and said

"Keep your head down
And keep your gun up

A# little bit of sense
And a whole lotta luck

Is all a man in this here world

Can hope for"

As you can say to the Lord"
