[Verse 1]
C# C#6 D#m G#
In Nineteen Sixty Seven the draft caught up with me,
D#m Fm C# F#
me and my pal Joe went off to war.
C# C#6 D#m G#
We might find hero's heaven, but we'd keep the country free.
D#m Fm C# G#
We would surely win just like before.
[Bridge]
F# G#
Roy Rogers he was on his horse,
C# A#m
and Buck Jones drew his gun.
D#m G#
We would surely win of course
A#m G#
when the battle was all done.
[Verse 2]
C# C#6 D#m G#
Nineteen Sixty Seven I came back alone,
D#m Fm C# C#maj7/9
they brought Joe back in plastic on the plane.
C# C#6 D#m G#
Nineteen Sixty Seven seems so long ago,
D#m Fm C# G#
but I can't forget my friend or ease my pain.
[Bridge]
F# G# C# A#m
His family may forget him, his children may regret him,
D#m G# A#m G#
his wife may find another and go on.
F# G# C# A#m
His picture may grow faded and the world he knew gone jaded
D#m G# A#m C#aug7/9 G# F#
but as long as I shall live I surely know,
G# C# F#m
I never will forget my buddy Joe.
C# A#m D#m G# D#m G#
[Verse 3]
C# C#6 D#m G#
In Nineteen Sixty Seven, the war was raging on,
D#m Fm C# C#maj7/9
our country was divided and reborn.
C# C#6 D#m G#
Though I was back at home, I had never left Saigon,
D#m Fm C# G#
'cause all I got was ridicule and scorn.
[Bridge]
F# G#
This was no place for hero's now,
C# A#m
they all seemed to resent me,
D#m G#
They said "Why did you ever go?"
A#m G#
I said "Because they sent me."
[Verse 4]
C# C#6 D#m G#
Nineteen Sixty Seven they buried my friend Joe,
D#m Fm C# C#maj7/9
and I was flashing back while people wept.
C# C#6 D#m G#
I thought of how he saved us and I watched the land-mine blow,
D#m Fm C# G#
and I looked down at his dog-tag that I kept.
[Bridge]
F# G# C# A#m
You'll always be a young man, you always will be smiling,
D#m G# A#m G#
you always will be confident and true.
F# G# C# A#m
Your picture may grow faded and the world you knew gone jaded,
D#m G# A#m C#aug7/9 G# F#
but as long as I shall live I surely know,
G# C# F#m
I never will forget my buddy Joe.
C#
[Outro]
F# C# D#m
Long as I shall live I surely know,
F# G#
I never will forget you buddy Joe.
