[(E)]I don't know why I left (I don't know why I left)
But I [(C#m)]know it won't be long (But I know it won't be long)
No It won't be l[(B7)]ong (No It won't be long) Till I get back ho[E]me[A] [E] [A] [E] [A]
[E]They gave me a green uniform and b[B7]lack boots for my f[E]eet
[A]Eighteen and w[E]ild as hell I th[F#m]ought it would be [B7]neat
[A]They put me on a plane to some st[E]range and foreign l[A]and

Once I was a soldier not afraid to die
[E]Now I'm a little older and not afraid to cry
[A]Every day I'm thankful just to be a-l[B7]ive
[C#m]When you've been where I've b[E]een any kind of li[A]fe [B7]is para-d[E]ise[A]
[E]Christmas of '89 was a lo[B7]nely time for m[E]e
[A]At most it was pro[E]bably fine but it wasn't n[C#m]othing like Tenne-[B7]see

[E]Did not sleep a wink that night but we [B7]won it for Uncle S[A]am

ENDING:
[C#m]When you've been where I've b[E]een any kind of l[A]ife [B7]is para-d[E]ise[A] [B7]
