Ab      Ab7sus4 Dbsus2  Ab Ab7
 I am a veteran  of the war

Ab                   Ab7sus4      Dbsus2         Ab  Ab7
 I up and joined the army back in nineteen sixty four

Ab                 Ab7sus4     Dbsus2     Ab  Ab7
 At sixteen I just had to be a man at any cost

Ab                 Ab7sus4         Dbsus2          Ab Gb/Db
 I volunteered for Vietnam where I got my leg shot off
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Fm                                  Gb/Db             Db
 I recall a quote from a movie that said who's more a man

Fm                 Fm7                 Gb/Db Eb Eb/G
 Than a man with a reason that's worth dying for
[Chorus 1]
Ab    Ab7 Ab      Ab7sus4     Dbsus2 Db Db9
 They had me stan-ding on the front  li-ne

Ab    Ab7 Ab      Ab7sus4     Dbsus2 Db Db9
 They had me stan-ding on the front  li-ne

Ab    Ab7 Ab      Ab7sus4     Dbsus2 Db Db9
 They had me stan-ding on the front  li-ne, but now I stand at the

Dbsus2                   Db       Db9       Ab   Gb Db
Back of the line when it comes to getting a-head
[Verse 2]
Ab              Ab7sus4       Dbsus2     Ab  Ab7
 They gave me a uniform and a tiny salty pill

Ab               Ab7sus4                   Dbsus2        Ab    Ab7
 To stop the big urge I might have for the wrong kind of thrill

Ab          Ab7sus4                  Dbsus2           Ab  Ab7
 They put a gun in my hand and said, shoot until he's dead

Ab                Ab7sus4                     Dbsus2                      Ab  Gb/Db
 But it's hard to kill when 'please, I'm your friend' echoes through your head
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Fm                                        Gb/Db          Db
Brought up in church taught no man should take another's life

Fm                 Fm7              Gb/Db  Eb   Eb/G
But then put in a jungle where life has no price
[Chorus 2]
Ab    Ab7 Ab      Ab7sus4     Dbsus2 Db Db9
 They had me stan-ding on the front  li-ne

Ab    Ab7 Ab      Ab7sus4     Dbsus2 Db Db9
 They had me stan-ding on the front  li-ne

Ab    Ab7 Ab      Ab7sus4     Dbsus2 Db Db9

Back of the line when it comes to getting a-head
[Bridge]
Bbm                          Gbmaj7   Gb6
 Back in the world the paper reads to-day

Bbm                    Gbmaj7 Gb6
 Another war is in the brewing

Db                           Ebm7   Db
 But what about the lives of yester-day and the

Gbmaj7                   Db/Eb     Ebsus2
Many happy families that have been ruined
[Verse 3]
Ab             Ab7sus4       Dbsus2            Ab Ab7
 My niece is a hooker and my nephew's a junkie too

Ab              Ab7sus4               Dbsus2               Ab Ab7
 But they say I have no right to tell them how they should do

Ab              Ab7sus4                     Dbsus2                         Ab Ab7
 They laugh and say quit bragging 'bout the war you should never have been in

Ab              Ab7sus4                      Dbsus2            Ab   Gb/Db
 But my mind is so brain-washed I'd probably go back and do it again
[Pre-Chorus 3]
Fm                           Gb/Db           Db
 I walk the neighborhood par-ading my purple heart

Fm              Fm7                  Gb/Db    Eb  Eb/G
 With a fear of agent orange that no one will stop
[Chorus 3]

 They had me stan-ding on the front  li-ne, but now I stand at the

Dbsus2                   Db       Db9       Ab   Gb Db
Back of the line when it comes to getting a-head
