[Verse 1]
G# G#6 A#m D#
In Nineteen Sixty Seven the draft caught up with me,
A#m Cm G# C#
me and my pal Joe went off to war.
G# G#6 A#m D#
We might find hero's heaven, but we'd keep the country free.
A#m Cm G# D#
We would surely win just like before.
[Bridge]
C# D#
Roy Rogers he was on his horse,
G# Fm
and Buck Jones drew his gun.
A#m D#
We would surely win of course
Fm D#
when the battle was all done.
[Verse 2]
G# G#6 A#m D#
Nineteen Sixty Seven I came back alone,
A#m Cm G# G#maj7/9
they brought Joe back in plastic on the plane.
G# G#6 A#m D#
Nineteen Sixty Seven seems so long ago,
A#m Cm G# D#
but I can't forget my friend or ease my pain.
[Bridge]
C# D# G# Fm
His family may forget him, his children may regret him,
A#m D# Fm D#
his wife may find another and go on.
C# D# G# Fm
His picture may grow faded and the world he knew gone jaded
A#m D# Fm G#aug7/9 D# C#
but as long as I shall live I surely know,
D# G# C#m
I never will forget my buddy Joe.

[Verse 3]
G# G#6 A#m D#
In Nineteen Sixty Seven, the war was raging on,
A#m Cm G# G#maj7/9
our country was divided and reborn.
G# G#6 A#m D#
Though I was back at home, I had never left Saigon,
A#m Cm G# D#
'cause all I got was ridicule and scorn.
[Bridge]
C# D#
This was no place for hero's now,
G# Fm
they all seemed to resent me,
A#m D#
They said "Why did you ever go?"
Fm D#
I said "Because they sent me."
[Verse 4]
G# G#6 A#m D#
Nineteen Sixty Seven they buried my friend Joe,
A#m Cm G# G#maj7/9
and I was flashing back while people wept.
G# G#6 A#m D#
I thought of how he saved us and I watched the land-mine blow,
A#m Cm G# D#
and I looked down at his dog-tag that I kept.
[Bridge]
C# D# G# Fm
You'll always be a young man, you always will be smiling,
A#m D# Fm D#
you always will be confident and true.
C# D# G# Fm
Your picture may grow faded and the world you knew gone jaded,
A#m D# Fm G#aug7/9 D# C#
but as long as I shall live I surely know,
D# G# C#m
I never will forget my buddy Joe.
G#
[Outro]
C# G# A#m
Long as I shall live I surely know,
C# D#
I never will forget you buddy Joe.
