[C]Robert was a sailor, For the [F]best years of his life
His [F]captain was his [C]mother, And the ocean was his [G]wife
Only [C]fresh out of the cradle, Lifes one and only [F]spring
He was sworn to do his [C]duty, And got [G]blood on his highschool [C]ring
Chorus:
[C]And its hello california
Hello dad and [F]mom
Ship ahoy Your [C]baby boy
Is home from viet[G]nam
Dont you [C]ask me any questions
bout the medals on my [F]chest
Take the star out of the [C]window
And let my [G]conscience take a [C]rest
(Rpeat Intro)
[C]Now he sailed across the ocean
To the old far eastern [F]war
And it was foreign to his [C]body
It was foreign to his [G]shore
So he [C]traded in the present
For the better times hed [F]seen
And made an oriental [C]waitress
His [G]own home comin [C]queen
(repeat chorus)
