Verse
A
Now, he didn't ask to go
E
But Ol' Sammy called his number
C#m
He boarded that old Greyhound bus
D
And said goodbye to his mother
A
Headed for Fort Benning, Georgia
E
Basic training in the summer
C#m
He said "I was young and tough
D
But that ol' drill sergeant was tougher"
A E
Yellin, y'all gonna learn how to suffer
C#m
I'm gonna make a man of all you chumps
D
They shaved his head and gave him a number
[Chorus]
A E
U.S. 5 3 4 3 5 3 1 9
F#m
In army green with an M-16
D
In 1965
A
He was fighting for me
E
Way before my time
F#m
When he sees Ol' Glory raised
D A
He still cries like it's 1965
E C#m D
Yeah, 1965
[Verse 2]
A
Now he didn't ask to go
E
But them Hueys dropped him off, and
That's when the enemy got real
D
Body bags headed for coffins
A E
He didn't know how much being an American would cost him
He said "we were young and we were rough
D
But sometimes those Viet Cong were also"
A E
And they sure knew how to suffer
We were all married to our guns
D
The fear of death, and a number
[Chorus]
A E
U.S. 5 3 4 3 5 3 1 9
F#m
In army green with an M-16
D
In 1965
A
He was fighting for me
E
Way before my time
F#m
When he sees Ol' Glory raised
D A
He still cries like it's 1965
E
'65, oh
[Bridge]
C#m D
And then one day his little grandson jumped up on his lap
A
Saw a bunch of medals that were in a frame
E
And said, "Were you in the war grandpa?"
He said "Yeah"
C#m
He said "Were you scared?
Did you kill anybody?"
Nah
D
"How'd you do it?"
He just laughed and said
[Verse 3]
A
"Keep your head down
And keep your gun up
E
F# little bit of sense
And a whole lotta luck
C#m Am
Is all a man in this here world
D
Can hope for"
He said
A
"Keep your head down
And keep your gun up
E
F# little bit of sense
And a whole lotta luck
C#m
And as many prayers
D
As you can say to the Lord"
[Chorus]
