Camouflage Stan Ridgway
I was a [Em]PFC on a [G]search patrol [A]huntin' Charlie [C]down, it [Em]was in the jungle [D]wars of '6[Em]5 [G]
My [Em]weapon jammed and I [G]got stuck way [A]out and all al[C]one, and [Em]I could hear the enemy m[D]ovin' in close out[A]side
[Em]Just then I heard [G]a twig snap and I [A]grabbed my empty [C]gun, and I [Em]dug in scared while I [D]counted down my [A]fate
And then a [Em]big mar[G]ine, a giant with a [A]pair of friendly e[C]yes, ap[Em]peared there at my sh[D]oulder and said wa[A]it
When he [Em]came in close bes[G]ide me he said, "Don't [A]worry, son, I'm [C]here, if Charlie [Em]wants to tangle
[D]now he'll have two to [A]dodge."
I said, "Well [Em]thanks a lot.", I [G]told him my name [A]and asked him [C]his, and he [Em]said, "The boys just [D]call me Camoufl[A]age." [C]
[Em]Whoa.[G].[A].. Camouf[C]lage - [Em]Things are never [D]quite the way they se[Em]em
[Em]Whoa.[G].[A].. Camouf[C]lage - I was [Em]awfully glad to [D]see this big marine[A] [C]
We [Em]fought all night and [G]side by side we [A]took our battle [C]stance, and I [Em]wondered how the [D]bullets missed this [A]man
'Cause they [Em]seemed to go right [G]through him as [A]if he wasn't [C]there, and in the [Em]mornin' we [D]both took a chance and r[A]an
And it was [Em]near the river [G]bank when the [A]ambush came on [C]top of us, and I'd [A]thought it was the [D]end and we were h[A]ad
Then a [Em]bullet with my [G]name on it came [A]buzzin' through a [C]bush, and that [Em]big marine he just [D]swat it with his [A]hand [C]
Chorus
And I [Em]knew there was something [G]weird about him - 'Cause [A]when I turned [C]around[Em]
He was [D]pullin' a big palm [Em]tree, rit up out of the [G]ground
And [A]swattin' those Charlies [C]with [Em]it from [D]here to Kingdom C[Em]ome
When he [Em]led me out of [G]danger, I saw my [A]camp and waved good[C]bye
But he just [Em]winked at me from the [G]jungle and then was g[A]one
And when I [Em]got back to [G]my HQ, I [A]told 'em about my ni[C]ght
And the [Em]battle I'd [G]spent with a big [A]marine named Camouflage
When I [Em]said his name a [G]soldier gulped and a [A]medic took my a[C]rm, and [Em]led me to a g[G]reen tent on the ri[A]ght
He said, "You [Em]may be tellin' the [G]truth boy, but [A]this here is Camou[C]flage
And he's [Em]been right here since he [G]passed away last n[A]ight."
But [Em]before he went he said, "[G]Semper Fi," and [A]said his only wh[C]ish, was to [Em]save a young mar[G]ine caught in a bar[A]rage
So here, [Em]take his dog tag [G]son, I know he'd [A]want you to have it [C]now."
And [Em]we both said a [G]prayer for a big [A]marine named Camouflage
