[Verse 1]
B B6 C#m F#
In Nineteen Sixty Seven the draft caught up with me,
C#m D#m B E
me and my pal Joe went off to war.
B B6 C#m F#
We might find hero's heaven, but we'd keep the country free.
C#m D#m B F#
We would surely win just like before.
[Bridge]
E F#
Roy Rogers he was on his horse,
B G#m
and Buck Jones drew his gun.
C#m F#
We would surely win of course
G#m F#
when the battle was all done.
[Verse 2]
B B6 C#m F#
Nineteen Sixty Seven I came back alone,
C#m D#m B Bmaj7/9
they brought Joe back in plastic on the plane.
B B6 C#m F#
Nineteen Sixty Seven seems so long ago,
C#m D#m B F#
but I can't forget my friend or ease my pain.
[Bridge]
E F# B G#m
His family may forget him, his children may regret him,
C#m F# G#m F#
his wife may find another and go on.
E F# B G#m
His picture may grow faded and the world he knew gone jaded
C#m F# G#m Baug7/9 F# E
but as long as I shall live I surely know,
F# B Em
I never will forget my buddy Joe.
B G#m C#m F# C#m F#
[Verse 3]
B B6 C#m F#
In Nineteen Sixty Seven, the war was raging on,
C#m D#m B Bmaj7/9
our country was divided and reborn.
B B6 C#m F#
Though I was back at home, I had never left Saigon,
C#m D#m B F#
'cause all I got was ridicule and scorn.
[Bridge]
E F#
This was no place for hero's now,
B G#m
they all seemed to resent me,
C#m F#
They said "Why did you ever go?"
G#m F#
I said "Because they sent me."
[Verse 4]
B B6 C#m F#
Nineteen Sixty Seven they buried my friend Joe,
C#m D#m B Bmaj7/9
and I was flashing back while people wept.
B B6 C#m F#
I thought of how he saved us and I watched the land-mine blow,
C#m D#m B F#
and I looked down at his dog-tag that I kept.
[Bridge]
E F# B G#m
You'll always be a young man, you always will be smiling,
C#m F# G#m F#
you always will be confident and true.
E F# B G#m
Your picture may grow faded and the world you knew gone jaded,
C#m F# G#m Baug7/9 F# E
but as long as I shall live I surely know,
F# B Em
I never will forget my buddy Joe.
B
[Outro]
E B C#m
Long as I shall live I surely know,
E F#
I never will forget you buddy Joe.
