Verse 1:
Its [C]January 1970
do you re[G]member me
You [F]put me on a boat across
the sea in the [G]name of victory
But [C]much to my surprised when I
arrived there was no [G]welcoming committee
Ins[F]tead there was a man for me to
kill and now I [G]see all this too real
Refrain:
[C] Then I saw him standing
[G]with a bayonet
[F] and as I ran towards
him he [G]hardly broke a sweat
[C] When I took his life
he [G]fell to his knees
[F] And as his eyes began to
[G]fade he whispered softly
Chorus 1:
[C]Godspeed this letter
a[G]way from here
I've [F]sealed it with my tears
and s[G]tomped it with my
fists And [C]godspeed this
letter a[G]way from you
My [F]work down here is through
I'm [G]on my way to better
days and [C]so are you[G] [F] [G]
Verse 2:
I'm [C]in his pocket that I saw the
picture of his children and his
[G]family And [F]I began to realize this
person I despised, in [G]actuality
Was [C]not much different from
myself we probably could have
taught each other [G]many things
And [F]now I know its much too
ate although I couldn't hesitate
GI checked his gun and
his chamber was empty
(Repeat Refrain)
