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