[Verse 1]
E E6 F#m B
In Nineteen Sixty Seven the draft caught up with me,
F#m G#m E A
me and my pal Joe went off to war.
E E6 F#m B
We might find hero's heaven, but we'd keep the country free.
F#m G#m E B
We would surely win just like before.
[Bridge]
A B
Roy Rogers he was on his horse,
E C#m
and Buck Jones drew his gun.
F#m B
We would surely win of course
C#m B
when the battle was all done.
[Verse 2]
E E6 F#m B
Nineteen Sixty Seven I came back alone,
F#m G#m E Emaj7/9
they brought Joe back in plastic on the plane.
E E6 F#m B
Nineteen Sixty Seven seems so long ago,
F#m G#m E B
but I can't forget my friend or ease my pain.
[Bridge]
A B E C#m
His family may forget him, his children may regret him,
F#m B C#m B
his wife may find another and go on.
A B E C#m
His picture may grow faded and the world he knew gone jaded
F#m B C#m Eaug7/9 B A
but as long as I shall live I surely know,
B E Am
I never will forget my buddy Joe.
E C#m F#m B F#m B
[Verse 3]
E E6 F#m B
In Nineteen Sixty Seven, the war was raging on,
F#m G#m E Emaj7/9
our country was divided and reborn.
E E6 F#m B
Though I was back at home, I had never left Saigon,
F#m G#m E B
'cause all I got was ridicule and scorn.
[Bridge]
A B
This was no place for hero's now,
E C#m
they all seemed to resent me,
F#m B
They said "Why did you ever go?"
C#m B
I said "Because they sent me."
[Verse 4]
E E6 F#m B
Nineteen Sixty Seven they buried my friend Joe,
F#m G#m E Emaj7/9
and I was flashing back while people wept.
E E6 F#m B
I thought of how he saved us and I watched the land-mine blow,
F#m G#m E B
and I looked down at his dog-tag that I kept.
[Bridge]
A B E C#m
You'll always be a young man, you always will be smiling,
F#m B C#m B
you always will be confident and true.
A B E C#m
Your picture may grow faded and the world you knew gone jaded,
F#m B C#m Eaug7/9 B A
but as long as I shall live I surely know,
B E Am
I never will forget my buddy Joe.
E
[Outro]
A E F#m
Long as I shall live I surely know,
A B
I never will forget you buddy Joe.
