[D]Saw Vietnam as a [A]partisan and [D]wished I'd never [A]been[G6]
[D]As I held the rope [A]on through the scope [D]I wish I'd never [A]seen[G6]
[D]Where the air turned red [A]as the bodies bled [D]into a schoolboy's [A]dream[G6]
[D]But who were there could [A]only stare [D]into this wondrous [A]scene

[D]In Germany in the [A]forty five, [D]my mind was on the [A]altar[G6]
[D]Thought of god, the [A]iron rod and [D]thought that needed [A]shelter[G6]
[D]From 'Tragen' pain and [A]men insane and [D]eyes that got much [A]colder[G6]
[D]Saw a German son with a [A]Yankee gun and a [D]uniform much [A]older

[D]Processions bear t[A]hat human flare [D]which mark a hero's [A]welc[G6]ome

[D]And all flags and [A]Yankee mags which [D]embroidered all the [A]meanin[G6]g
[D]In an oversight, f[A]orgot the fight, [D]which never bore [A]elation
