[Verse 1]
          D     Dsus4 D             Dsus4 D
Oh can you tell me, oh how the joy
               A                        D     Dsus4 D
Passed from his childhood, that's not my boy
          D       Dsus4 D               Dsus4 D
I see he's finished, he's run his race
             A                     D      Dsus4 D
We're not his family that's not his face
             D   Dsus4 D               Dsus4 D
We taught him well and from his youth
          A                    D       Dsus4 D
He knew he always must know the truth
           D      Dsus4 D         Dsus4 D
He left his country to go to war
          A                               D      Dsus4 D
When he returned, he'd found we closed the door

[Chorus]
   Bb       C                   D
But we never dreamed when he was leaving
    Bb                 C          D          A
That he would taste the flowers of evil

[Verse 2]
          D    Dsus4 D           Dsus4 D
I know his habit was not so bad
              A                   D     Dsus4 D
When for fifty dollars it could be had
            D   Dsus4 D                 Dsus4 D
But now he's home to his promised land
           A                   D       Dsus4 D
And what he needs got to cost a Grand
              D   Dsus4 D                 Dsus4 D
When he'd been home for six month's time
         A                         D      Dsus4 D
My son he told me, he'd made up his mind
          D     Dsus4 D                Dsus4 D
He's re-enlisted for three years more
           A                   D     Dsus4 D
It's too expensive to stop this war

[Chorus]
   Bb       C                   D
But we never dreamed when he was leaving
    Bb                 C          D          A
That he would taste the flowers of evil

[Outro]

Oh can you tell me, oh how the joy
               A                        D     Dsus4 D
Passed from his childhood, that's not my boy
          D    Dsus4 D                 Dsus4 D
He's re-enlisted for three years more
               A                        D      Dsus4 D
Is the price of peace worth the price of war?
               A                        D      Dsus4 D
Is the price of peace worth the price of war?
               A                        D      Dsus4 D
Is the price of peace worth the price of war?

Is the price of peace worth the price of war?
