Verse 1:
A minorAm C majorC D MajorD FF
I was a p.f.c. on a search patrol, huntin’ Charlie down
A minorAm G+G A minorAm
It was in the jungle wars of ’65
A minorAm C majorC D MajorD FF
My weapon jammed and I got stuck way out and all alone
A minorAm G+G A minorAm
And I could hear the enemy movin’ in close outside
C majorC G+G DmDm A minorAm
Just then I heard a twig snap and I grabbed my empty gun
C majorC E minorEm A minorAm
And I dug in scared while I counted down my fate
C majorC G+G DmDm A minorAm
And then a big marine, a giant, with a pair of friendly eyes
C majorC E minorEm A minorAm
Appeared there at my shoulder and said wait.
A minorAm C majorC D MajorD FF
When he came in close beside me, he said don’t worry, son
I’m here
A minorAm G+G A minorAm
If Charlie wants to tangle now, he’ll have two to dodge
A minorAm C majorC D MajorD FF
I said, well, thanks a lot! I told him my name and asked him his
A minorAm G+G A minorAm
And he said the boys just call me camouflage
Chorus:
A minorAm C majorC D MajorD FF
Woah-oh-oh-oh, camouflage
A minorAm G+G A minorAm
Things are never quite the way they seem
A minorAm C majorC D MajorD FF
Woah-oh-oh-oh, camouflage
A minorAm G+G A minorAm
I was awfully glad to see this big marine
Verse 2:
C majorC G+G DmDm A minorAm
Well
I was gonna ask him where he came from, when we heard the bullets fly
C majorC E minorEm A minorAm
Comin’ through the brush, and all around our ears
C majorC G+G DmDm A minorAm
It was then I saw this big Marine light a fire in his eye
C majorC E minorEm DmDm FF Esus2Esus2
And it was strange, but suddenly
I forgot my fears
A minorAm C majorC D MajorD FF A minorAm G+G A minorAm
A minorAm C majorC D MajorD FF
Well, we fought all night, side by side, we took our battle stance
A minorAm G+G A minorAm
And I wondered how the bullets missed this man
A minorAm C majorC D MajorD FF
’Cause they seemed to go right through him just as if he wasn’t there
A minorAm G+G A minorAm
And in the mornin’ we both took a chance and ran
C majorC G+G DmDm A minorAm
And it was near the riverbank when the ambush came on top of us
C majorC E minorEm A minorAm
And I thought it was the end, and we were had
C majorC G+G DmDm A minorAm
Then a bullet with my name on it came buzzin’ through a bush
C majorC E minorEm DmDm
And that big Marine, he just swat it with his hand
FF Esus2Esus2
Just like it was a fly
Chorus:
A minorAm C majorC D MajorD FF
Woah-oh-oh-oh
Camouflage
A minorAm G+G A minorAm
Things are never quite the way they seem
A minorAm C majorC D MajorD FF
Woah-oh-oh-oh
Camouflage
A minorAm G+G A minorAm
This was an awfully strange Marine
{spoken}
C majorC G+G
And I knew there was somethin’ weird about him
DmDm A minorAm
’Cause when I turned around
C majorC G+G
He was pullin’ a big palm tree up outta the ground
DmDm FF
And swattin’ those Charlies with it from here to kingdom come
Esus2Esus2
Verse 3:
A minorAm C majorC D MajorD FF
When he led me outta danger I saw my camp and waved goodbye
A minorAm G+G A minorAm
He just winked at me from the jungle and then was gone
A minorAm C majorC D MajorD FF
When I got back to my H.Q.
I told ’em about my night
A minorAm G+G A minorAm
And the battle I’d spent with a big Marine named Camouflage
C majorC G+G DmDm A minorAm
When I said his name, the soldier gulped, and a medic took my arm
C majorC E minorEm A minorAm
And led me to a green tent on the right
C majorC G+G DmDm A minorAm
He said "You may be tellin’ true, boy, but this here is Camouflage
C majorC E minorEm DmDm
And he’s been right here since he passed away last night
FF E minorEm
In fact, he’s been here all week long
A minorAm C majorC D MajorD FF
But before he went, he said Semper Fi, and said his only wish
A minorAm G+G A minorAm
Was to save a young Marine caught in a barrage
A minorAm C majorC D MajorD FF
So here, take his dog tag, son
I know he’d want you to have it now"
A minorAm G+G A minorAm
And we both said a prayer for a big Marine named Camouflage
Chorus:
A minorAm C majorC D MajorD FF
Woah-oh-oh-oh
Camouflage
A minorAm G+G A minorAm
Things are never quite the way they seem
A minorAm C majorC D MajorD FF
Woah-oh-oh-oh
Camouflage
A minorAm G+G A minorAm
This was an awfully big Marine
Chorus:
A minorAm C majorC D MajorD FF
Woah-oh-oh-oh
Camouflage
A minorAm G+G A minorAm
Things are never quite the way they seem
A minorAm C majorC D MajorD FF
Woah-oh-oh-oh
Camouflage
A minorAm G+G A minorAm
This was an awfully big Marine
A minorAm G+G A minorAm
Woah-ohhhhh
Camouflage
A minorAm G+G A minorAm
Woah-ohhhhh
Camouflage
A minorAm G+G A minorAm
Woah-ohhhhh
Camouflage
A minorAm G+G A minorAm
Woah-ohhhhh
Camouflage
