My Vietnam

        Am           Dm           
My Vietnam, I have known you for 
   Am
so long.
F                Dm     Dm/B    
Lately I’ve become aware of all 
       E
your sorrow.
Dm                       Am      
People are hungry and afraid, 
      C             Dm
while hundred miles away,
Dm/B                  E          
their leaders pig on pork chops 
    Am
and champagne.


[Verse]
Am                    F          
My Vietnam, there is rust upon 
     C
your star,
F                      Am        
and your wealth is with those who
       Dm
 are in power.
G                     Em
They have betrayed your mountains 
and your rivers.
G                      Em
They have all failed you and sold 
your land away.


[Chorus]
               Am           C
Where are you now, my Vietnam?

               Dm            Bb
Where are your daughters and sons?
              Em            G 
You must wake up and raise your 
             C            E7
voice as one.
              Dm             
And though we deal but little 
 Bb               Am               
strokes, in time we will fell great 
C
oaks.
              Dm            Em
Who’s with me now? Ask “Where where 
is my, where’s my Vietnam?”


[Verse]
        Am           Dm          Am
My Vietnam, how many young and brave
F                 Dm         
must sleep beneath the waves,
Dm/B                  E
 must fall before the cannons?
Dm                       Am  
On Paracel and Spratly’s bloody 
          C             Dm
shores our name will stand or fall,
Dm/B                  E          
a thousand years of darkness 
    Am
still remain.


[Verse]
Am                    F          
Our own have invited China in,
     C

F                      Am    
they are cowards and lackeys of 
           Dm
Beijing.
G                     Em
Where are the heirs to your 
mountains and your rivers?
G                     Em
They will be here when they hear 
your call to arms!



[Chorus]
               Am           C
So where are you now, my Vietnam?
               Dm            Bb
Where are your daughters and sons?
              Em            G 
You must wake up and raise your 
             C            E7
voice as one.
              Dm             
And though we deal but little 
 Bb               Am               
strokes, in time we will fell great 
C
oaks.
              Dm            Em
Hold your fist high, together we’ll 
fight for a new Vietnam.
