1.       Daddy was a soldier,          he taught me about freedom,

Am                                G                          - Am                          G

      peace and all the great things that we        take advantage of.

    Once I fed the homeless,         I'll never forget,

C                                 G                  Dm                           F         

    I looked upon their faces, and I treated them with respect.

 

Am                  G          - C          Dm

    This is my Vietnam,      I'm at war.

Am                        E                             C           Dm           

    Life keeps on dropping bombs, and I keep score.

2.      Momma was a lunatic, yeah,        she liked to push my buttons,

Am                             G                      Am                       G

    she said I wasn't good enough, but I guess I wasn't trying.

C                           G                   - Am                                     E                                                         

    Never liked school that much,       they tried to teach me better,

C                              G                           

    but I just wasn't hearing it because

  Dm

    I thought I was already pretty clever, and…

 

Am                  G          - C           Dm

    This is my Vietnam,      I'm at war.

Am                        E                             C           Dm          

    Life keeps on dropping bombs, and I keep score.

Am                  G          - C           Dm

    This is my Vietnam,      I'm at war.

Am                         E                            C           Dm          

    They keep on dropping bombs, and I keep score.

 

    F - Am    F - Am

 

F                           Am                   - F                        Am

    What do you expect from me?       What am I not giving you?

F                      Am                  Dm

    What could I do for you to make me OK in your eyes?
