Saw Vietnam as a partisan and wished I'd never been
D MajorD         A augmentedA          D MajorD        A augmentedA  G6G6

D MajorD            A augmentedA         D MajorD         A augmentedA    G6G6
Where the air turned red as the bodies bled into a schoolboy's dream

D MajorD         A augmentedA      D MajorD         A augmentedA   G6G6
In Germany in the forty five, my mind was on the altar
D MajorD          A augmentedA      D MajorD          A augmentedA    G6G6
Thought of god, the iron rod and thought that needed shelter
D MajorD           A augmentedA       D MajorD         A augmentedA   G6G6
From 'Tragen' pain and men insane and eyes that got much colder
D MajorD            A augmentedA        D MajorD      A augmentedA
Saw a German son with a Yankee gun and a uniform much older

Processions bear that human flare which mark a hero's welcome
D MajorD         A augmentedA       D MajorD      A augmentedA  G6G6
For those dead and for those shed it was a big occasion
D MajorD         A augmentedA         D MajorD          A augmentedA   G6G6
And all flags and Yankee mags which embroidered all the meaning
D MajorD         A augmentedA        D MajorD        A augmentedA
In an oversight, forgot the fight, which never bore elation
