[Verse 1]
Ab
Ab7sus4 Dbsus2 Ab Ab7
I am a veteran of the war
Ab
Ab7sus4 Dbsus2 Ab Ab7
I up and joined the army back in nineteen sixty four
Ab
Ab7sus4 Dbsus2 Ab Ab7
At sixteen I just had to be a man at any cost
Ab
Ab7sus4 Dbsus2 Ab Gb/Db
I volunteered for Vietnam where I got my leg shot off

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Fm   Gb/Db   Db
I recall a quote from a movie that said who's more a man
Fm   Fm7   Gb/Db   Eb   Eb/G
Than a man with a reason that's worth dying for

[Chorus 1 2x]
  Ab     Ab7       Ab
Ab7sus4 Dbsus2 Db Db9
They had me stan-ding on the front li-ne
  Ab     Ab7       Ab
Ab7sus4 Dbsus2 Db Db9
They had me stan-ding on the front li-ne, but now I stand at the
Dbsus2   Db   Db9   Ab   Gb   Db
Back of the line when it comes to getting a-head

[Verse 2]
Ab
Ab7sus4 Dbsus2 Ab Ab7
They gave me a uniform and a tiny salty pill
Ab
Ab7sus4 Dbsus2 Ab Ab7
To stop the big urge I might have for the wrong kind of thrill
Ab
Ab7sus4 Dbsus2 Ab Ab7
They put a gun in my hand and said, shoot until he's dead
Ab
Ab7sus4 Dbsus2 Ab Gb/Db
But it's hard to kill when 'please, I'm your friend' echoes through your head

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Fm   Gb/Db   Db
Brought up in church taught no man should take another's life
Fm   Fm7   Gb/Db   Eb   Eb/G
But then put in a jungle where life has no price

[Chorus 2 2x]
[Bridge]
Bbm   Gbmaj7   Gb6
Back in the world the paper reads to-day
Bbm   Gbmaj7   Gb6
Another war is in the brewing
Db   Ebm7   Db
But what about the lives of yester-day and the
Gbmaj7   Db/Eb   Ebsus2
Many happy families that have been ruined

[Verse 3]
Ab
Ab7sus4 Dbsus2 Ab Ab7
My niece is a hooker and my nephew's a junkie too
Ab
Ab7sus4 Dbsus2 Ab Ab7
But they say I have no right to tell them how they should do
Ab
Ab7sus4 Dbsus2 Ab Ab7
They laugh and say quit bragging 'bout the war you should never have been in
Ab
Ab7sus4 Dbsus2 Ab Gb/Db
But my mind is so brain-washed I'd probably go back and do it again

[Pre-Chorus 3]
Fm   Gb/Db   Db
I walk the neighborhood par-ading my purple heart
Fm   Fm7   Gb/Db   Eb   Eb/G
With a fear of agent orange that no one will stop

[Chorus 3 2x 2x 2x 2x]
[Solo 2x 2x]
