[Dm]A vacation in the foreign land
Uncle Sam does the best he can
You're in the [Gm]army now
Oh, oh you're in the [Dm]army - now
[Dm]Now you remember what the draft man said
Nothing to do all day but stay in bed
You're in the [Gm]army now

Oh, oh you're in the army - now
[Dm]You'll be a hero of the neighbourhood
Nobody knows that you left for good
You're in the [Gm]army now
[Am]Oh, oh you're in the [Dm]army - now

Hand grenades flying over your head
[Em]The sun's flying over your head
If you wanna survive you're out of bet
You're in the [Am]army now
[Bm]Oh, oh you're in the [Em]army - now
[Em]Shots ring out in the dead of night
The sergeant calls : "Stand up and fight!"
You're in the [Am]army now
[Bm]Oh, oh you're in the [Em]army - now
[Em]You've got your orders to shoot on sight
your finger's on the trigger but it don't seem right
You're in the [Am]army now
[Bm]Oh, oh you're in the[Em] army - now
Guitar solo
[Em]Night is falling and you just can't see
Is this illusion or reality
You're in the [Am]army now
[Bm]Oh, oh you're in the [Em]army - now
You're in the [Am]army now \
Hm Em } - playing N times with fill 2
Oh, oh you're in the army - now /
