[Intro]
G F G F
[Verse 1.]
G F Farewell my wistful Saigon bride G F I'm going out to stem the tide Em Dm A tide which never saw the seas Em Dm It flows through jungles, round the trees Em Dm Some say it's yellow, some say red Em Dm C Em It will not matter when we're dead
[Verse 2.]
G F How many dead men will it take G F To build a dike that will not break? Em Dm How many children must we kill Em Dm C Before we make the waves stand still?
[Verse 3.]
G F Though miracles come high today G F We have the wherewithal to pay Em Dm It takes them off the streets you know Em Dm To places they would never go alone Em Dm It gives them useful trade Em Dm C Em The lucky boys are even paid
[Verse 4.]
G F Men die to build their Pharoah's tombs G F And still and still the teeming wombs Em Dm How many men to conquer Mars Em Dm C Em G F G F How many dead to reach the stars?
[Verse 5.]
G F Farewell my wistful Saigon bride G F I'm going out to stem the tide Em Dm Some say it's yellow, some say red Em Dm C It will not matter when we're dead
