AmI got a letter from L.B.J
DmIt said, "This is your lucky day"
Am E7 Am E7It's time to put your khaki trousers on
AmThough it may seem very queer
DmWe've got no jobs to give you here
Am E7 AmSo we are sending you to Vietnam
F C And Lyndon Johnson told the nation
Dm Am Have no fear of escalation
E7 Am I Am trying everyone to please
F C Though it isn't really war
Dm Am We're sending fifty thousand more
E7 Am E7 To help save Vietnam from Vietnamese
I jumped off the old troop ship
And sank in mud up to my hips
I cussed until the captain called me down
Never mind how hard it's raining
Think of all the ground we're gaining
Just don't take one step outside of town
F C And Lyndon Johnson told the nation
Dm Am Have no fear of escalation
E7 Am I Am trying everyone to please
F C Though it isn't really war
Dm Am We're sending fifty thousand more
E7 Am E7 To help save Vietnam from Vietnamese
Every night the local gentry
Slip out past the sleeping sentry
They Go to join the old V.C.
In their nightly little dramas
They put on their black pajamas
And come lobbing mortar shells at me
F C And Lyndon Johnson told the nation
Dm Am Have no fear of escalation
E7 Am I Am trying everyone to please
F C Though it isn't really war
Dm Am We're sending fifty thousand more
E7 Am E7 To help save Vietnam from Vietnamese
We Go round in helicopters
Like a bunch of big grasshoppers
Searching for the Viet Cong in vain
They left a note that they had gone
They had to get down to Saigon
Their government positions to maintain
Well, here I sit in this rice paddy
Wondering about Big Daddy
And I know that Lyndon loves me so
Yet how sadly I remember
Way back yonder in November
When he said I'd never have to go
F C And Lyndon Johnson told the nation
Dm Am Have no fear of escalation
E7 Am I Am trying everyone to please
F C Though it isn't really war
Dm Am We're sending fifty thousand more
E7 Am E7 To help save Vietnam from Vietnamese
