D7 G C
My time will be up sometime in June

Don't forget he said, to tell my sweet Mary
D7 G C
Her golden lips as sweet as cherries
And it came from ...CHORUS
It was just the next day his mother got a telegram
It was addressed from Vietnam
Now, Mistress Brown, she lives in the U.S.A.
And this is what she wrote and said
"Don't be alarmed" she told me the telegram read
"But Mistress Brown, your son is dead"
And it came from ...CHORUS
(F) C
Somebody please stop that war now! ...SOLO
