E
The bars are crowded, with wasted 
youth
D                          E
You just went, you didn't know the 
truth
E
You don't know that kid, when you 
look back
       D                  E
You remember the music, paint it 
black
E
You had a brother in the movement, 
and he burned his card
           D                       
He's got a job in the white house, 
 E
ain't life hard
E
You came back a hero, on a stolen 
horse
D                      E
You don't fit in, you can't stay the
 course (and you say)

B                      F#m
I may be right, don't care if I'm 
wrong
        A         E
It's a veteran's song
B                      F#m
I may be right, don't care if I'm 
wrong
        A   G         E
It's a veeeeeeteran's song

The band paraded, playing "Oh gung 
ho"
D                         E
Your country needs you, you've got 
to go
E
When you came over, they said 
"Soldier go back"
D                                
When you came home, they put you on 
E
the rack
E
Between agent Orange, and the jungle
 and fear
D                          E
You're just surviving, to get out of
 here
E
You smoke some more herb, and you 
keep your head down
D                         E
Could be your number, is on the next
 round. (you say)
