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