Verse One:


G                              
Johnny can't drink 'cause Johnny 

               C
ain't twenty-one

         G                     
Yeah but he's eighteen and he's 

                     D
pretty handy with a gun

G
They sent him off to a foreign land

           C
Gave him a new pair of boots and 
thirteen grand

       G                   D      
And he came back home with 

  C            G
American blood on his hands


Verse Two:


G                                 
But George is a real go-getter and

                  C
 he's running the show

       G                           
And he should have known better but

                         D
 his old man told him to go

G
He sits at home with his feet on his
 desk

          C
While the boys got theirs in the 
sand

          G               D        
A million miles away with American 

C              G
blood on their hands


Verse Three:


G                                 
Well Johnny can't walk but the 

                     C
medic said he's okay to fly

        G                        
And the newspapers tell us he's a 

                    D
hero and hell of a guy

G
They sent him up to Washington

         C
For a photo op with the smoking gun

           G                D     
He's got a Purple Heart and 

   C            G
American blood on his hands


Chorus:


C     G        D      G
Black gold for silver stars

C                  D       G
Cold hard cash for armored cars

C                                 
The brass ain't fighting but 

                         D         
they're sure as hell taking a stand

 C


            Em               
And they'll have to live with 

  C       D              G
American blood on their hands


Verse Four:


G                            
Now George stands up on a boat 

                   C
proudly waving a flag

        G                          
He says the hard part's over and he

                        D
 knew it wouldn't be so bad

G
The roadside bombs for six long 
years

           C
Were never really part of the plan

                G                  
What's a couple thousand more with 

D        C              G
American blood on their hands?


Chorus:


C     G        D      G
Black gold for silver stars

C                  D       G
Cold hard cash for armored cars

C                                 
The brass ain't fighting but 

                         D         
they're sure as hell taking a stand

 C


            Em               
And they'll have to live with 

  C       D              G
American blood on their hands


Verse Five:


G                                 
Now Johnny can drink all day 

              C
'cause he's twenty-three

     G                             
He donated his legs to the 

              D
worldwide land of the free

G
He cries God Bless America

        C
But God Damn Uncle Sam!

                G                
While he stares through the tears 

      D        C            G
with American blood on his hands

                G                
While he stares through the tears 

      D        C            G
with American blood on his hands


Chorus:


C     G        D      G
Black gold for silver stars

C                  D       G
Cold hard cash for armored cars

C                                 
The brass ain't fighting but 

                         D         
they're sure as hell taking a stand

 C


            Em               
And they'll have to live with 

  C       D              G
American blood on their hands
