   [Verse 1]
D                A            D 
Saw Vietnam as a partisan and 
               A     G6
wished I'd never been
D                  A             
As I held the rope on through the
       D                A    G6
 scope I wish I'd never seen
D                        A   
Where the air turned red as the 
               D                  
bodies bled into a schoolboy's 
A       G6
dream
D                        A       
But who were there could only 
   D                  A
stare into this wondrous scene


   [Chorus]
G6   Bm      D      A
     Yankee, to war
Em   Bm      D        A
     Yankee, head high
Em   Bm      D       A
     Yankee, in call
Em   Bm      D     A
     Yankee, we cry

   [Verse 2]
D                 A           D 
In Germany in the forty five, my
                 A     G6
 mind was on the altar
D                   A            
Thought of god, the iron rod and 
D                   A       G6
thought that needed shelter
D                      A         
From 'Tragen' pain and men insane
     D                  A      G6
 and eyes that got much colder
D                       A        
Saw a German son with a Yankee 
        D            A
gun and a uniform much older

   [Verse 3]
D                 A               
Processions bear that human flare 
D                   A   G6
which mark a hero's welcome
D                  A              
For those dead and for those shed 
D            A    G6
it was a big occasion
D                 A              
And all flags and Yankee mags 
   D                   A     G6
which embroidered all the meaning
D                 A               
In an oversight, forgot the fight,
 D                A
 which never bore elation
