[Intro]

[Verse 1]
D A D A G6
Saw Vietnam as a partisan and wished I'd never been
D A D A G6
As I held the rope on through the scope I wish I'd never seen
D A D A G6
Where the air turned red as the bodies bled into a schoolboy's dream
D A D A
But who were there could only 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 A G6
In Germany in the forty five, my mind was on the altar
D A D A G6
Thought of god, the iron rod and thought that needed shelter
D A D A G6
From 'Tragen' pain and men insane and eyes that got much colder
D A D A
Saw a German son with a Yankee gun and a uniform much older
[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 3]
D A D A G6
Processions bear that human flare which mark a hero's welcome
D A D A G6
For those dead and for those shed it was a big occasion
D A D A G6
And all flags and Yankee mags which embroidered all the meaning
D A D A
In an oversight, forgot the fight, which never bore elation
[Chorus]
G6 Bm D A
Yankee, to war
Em Bm D A
Yankee, head high
Em Bm D A
Yankee, in call

Yankee, we cry
