Bm A  Em  D  Bm A  Em  D
Bm A  Em  A

  Verse 1:
D        A      D        A   G6
Saw Vietnam as a partisan and wished I'd never been
D         A          D        A  G6
As I held the rope on through the scope I wish I'd never seen
D            A         D         A    G6
Where the air turned red as the bodies bled into a schoolboy's dream
D            A     D         A
But who were there could only stare into this wondrous scene


  Chorus:
G6  Bm   D   A
   Yankee, to war
Em  Bm   D    A
   Yankee, head high
Em  Bm   D    A
   Yankee, in call
Em  Bm   D   A
   Yankee, we cry

  Verse 2:
D         A      D         A   G6
In Germany in the forty five, my mind was on the altar
D          A      D          A    G6
Thought of god, the iron rod and thought that needed shelter
D           A       D         A   G6
From 'Tragen' pain and men insane and eyes that got much colder
D            A        D      A
Saw a German son with a Yankee gun and a uniform much older


  Chorus:
G6  Bm   D   A
   Yankee, to war
Em  Bm   D    A
   Yankee, head high
Em  Bm   D    A
   Yankee, in call
Em  Bm   D   A
   Yankee, we cry

  Verse 3:
D         A        D          A  G6
Processions bear that human flare which mark a hero's welcome
D         A       D      A  G6
For those dead and for those shed it was a big occasion
D         A         D          A   G6
And all flags and Yankee mags which embroidered all the meaning
D         A        D        A
In an oversight, forgot the fight, which never bore elation


  Chorus:
G6  Bm   D   A
   Yankee, to war
Em  Bm   D    A
   Yankee, head high
Em  Bm   D    A
   Yankee, in call

   Yankee, we cry
