Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

-- (3X) and then :

To scared to go to proud to run

Here's your orders boy here's your gun

We're sending you off to vietnam

 try to stay cool try to stay calm

(Play Intro Again)

Never seen nothing but that mid-texas dirt

Never been on a flyin' machine

Your job now is to take this gun

 and kill everything that you see

Chorus

 Its a long way home

 Its a long, long, long, long way home

(Play intro)

Orange in the air and fire on the ground

 Man them back-up-boys aint nowhere around

 And theres smoke in the sky and screamin to the sea

 oh God have mercy on me

(Chorus)

(Play intro for solo)

Got that medal on your chest

Now ya got it made

 But you're going back to the land of protest

 and an empty heros parade

(no chords here, just bass and drums)

You're wakin up in the dead of night

(no chords here, just bass and drums)

Screamin out your lungs

(no chords here, just bass and drums)

You got jungle fires and trip-bomb wires

 and blazin red turret guns

(chorus)

(play intro for outro)
