[Verse 1]
Down in DEutaw, Alabama in CNineteen Sixty-GFive
A Dyoung man ‘bout 21,
no Cdifferent than you or GI
He’s catchin’ Amcatfish,
and gettin’ Ddrunk
But Uncle AmSam called,
he called him Dup,
Sent him out to VietGnam,
That young Amman,
Got his Dlife turned upside down,
Turned his Dsmile into a frown,
Robbed that Dking of his crown,
For an ideal he didn’t even know aGbout,
[Verse 2]
He was Dgamblin’ at the wagon,when Cthat army man showed Gup,
And he Dflashed that pen and paper,
And Cole Fukie he signed Gup,
There’s gonna be a Ambig time,
In the junDgle,
Gonna be a Amfirefight,
Gonna be a rumDble,
Send me out to VietGnam,
I’ll fight ten Ammen,
I got nothin’ Dleft in the States for me,
I wanna Dsee the world you see,
I know that DUncle Sam needs me,
To fight for an ideal I know nothing aGbout.
[Instrumental]
D C G D C G Am D Am D G
[Verse 3]
Oh the Ddrop point was dusty and the Cdrill sergeant was Gloud,
And he Dcould not see the corpses,
for Cthe ragin’ dust Gcloud
Grab your Amduffle bags,
head to the checkDpoint
Welcome to VietAmnam boys,
you’re in for a hell of a Dfight,
Take it from the ones who Gknow.
The army moves Amslow,
Hurry up and Dwait,
don’t sleep Dlate,
And learn to Dhate your brother,
Before you hate your Gfoe,
[Verse 4]
On Dpatrol out in the rice fields,
Them Cchoppers flew Glow,
DGlancing up for the hand signal,
To tell you Cwhere tGo go,
Then the bombs started Amfallin’
And they pounded Dhis brain,
And he thought about EuAmtaw,
And who was to Dblame,
For sendin’ him to VietGnam,
[Outro]

Chords in this song · guitar

[Verse 1]

D C G

Down in Eutaw, Alabama in Nineteen Sixty-Five

A young man ‘bout 21,

C G

no different than you or I

He’s catchin’ catfish,

and gettin’ drunk

But Uncle Sam called,

he called him up,

Sent him out to Vietnam,

That young man,

Got his life turned upside down,

Turned his smile into a frown,

Robbed that king of his crown,

For an ideal he didn’t even know about,

[Verse 2]

D C G

He was gamblin’ at the wagon,when that army man showed up,

And he flashed that pen and paper,

C G

And ole Fukie he signed up,

There’s gonna be a big time,

In the jungle,

Gonna be a firefight,

Gonna be a rumble,

Send me out to Vietnam,

I’ll fight ten men,

I got nothin’ left in the States for me,

I wanna see the world you see,

I know that Uncle Sam needs me,

To fight for an ideal I know nothing about.

[Instrumental]

D C G D C G Am D Am D G

[Verse 3]

D C G

Oh the drop point was dusty and the drill sergeant was loud,

And he could not see the corpses,

C G

for the ragin’ dust cloud

Grab your duffle bags,

head to the checkpoint

Welcome to Vietnam boys,

you’re in for a hell of a fight,

Take it from the ones who know.

The army moves slow,

Hurry up and wait,

don’t sleep late,

And learn to hate your brother,

Before you hate your foe,

[Verse 4]

On patrol out in the rice fields,

C G

Them choppers flew low,

Glancing up for the hand signal,

C G

To tell you where to go,

Then the bombs started fallin’

And they pounded his brain,

And he thought about Eutaw,

And who was to blame,

For sendin’ him to Vietnam,

[Outro]
