I didn't know we were at war, 
        D      G
I've been away so long;
G              G           
trying to help once lost men,

distinguish right from wrong.

I didn't know we'd killed the men,
     C                 G
 our leaders proud and strong,
    G            G                
the situation 's changed, my 
        C     D       G

I taught my friends how we had 
            C        D     G
gained respect for every man
    G                   G    
and freedom flowed like jungle 
                C       D      
streams while peace embraced the 
    G       G
land.
  G                  D        
I told them how we'd learned to 
             C                 G
change our sword blades into plows,
  G                     G         
I told them they should learn from
          C        D         G
 us, what should I tell them now.

'Cause I didn't know we were at

war I've been away so long,

The jungle silence shut them off 
C        D        G
from civilized mankind,
      G             G             
their nakedness was no disgrace, 
  C       D       G        G
no censors could I find.
    G          D                   
The population lived in peace, all 
C                 G
brothers on their own
    G               G             
and now that I have seen the mess 
  C           D       G
I don't think I'll go home.

 us, I think I told them wrong.
