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