[Intro 1]
[C][D][C][Em][C][Gsus4][G]

[Verse 1]
In [C]Nineteen Sixty
[Am]Seven the [Dm]draft caught up with [G]me,
[Dm]Me and my pal Joe [G]went
off to [C]war.[Gsus4]
[C]We might find hero's heav[Am]en,
but [Dm]we'd keep the country [G]free.
[Dm]We would surely wi[G]n just
like be[C]fore.
[F]Roy Rogers he was on [G]his horse,
and [C]Buck Jones drew his gun[Am].
[Dm]We would surely win of[G] course when
[Dm]the battle was all done.
[G]

[Verse 2]
[C]Nineteen Sixty Sev[Am]en I[Dm] came back alon[G]e,

on the [C]plane.[Gsus4]
[C]Nineteen Sixty [Am]Seven [Dm]seems so long a[G]go,

[Dm]His wife may find an[G]other and [C]go on.
[F]His picture may grow [G]faded and
[C]the world he knew gone [Am]jaded
[Dm]But as long as I shall live I surely k[Fm]now,
[G]I never will forget my buddy Joe.

In [C]Nineteen Sixty Seven,
[Am]the [Dm]war was raging o[G]n,
[Dm]Our country [G]was divided and
[C]reborn.[Gsus4][G]
[C]Though I was back [Am]at home,
I had [Dm]never [G]left Saigon,
[Dm]'cause all I got was ri
[G]dicule [C]and scorn.
[F]This was no place for [G]hero's now,
they all [C]seemed to resent [Am]me,
[Dm]They said
