Guitar chords with lyrics

Intro:
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

G6   Bm      D      A
     Yankee, to war
Em   Bm      D        A
     Yankee, head high
