[D]Well I quit school at the 10th grade and I [G]grew out my [D]hair
I got me a job doing lawn [E]mover r[Asus2]epair[Asus4] [Asus2] [A]
I m[D]et an Army recruiter down at the Win [G]Dixi
He said [D]son you no future[Asus2] pack up and go with [D]me.
The first place we landed was a [G]base called [D]Bullot
They convoyed are asses to a [E]10 acre [Asus2]FOB[Asus4] [Asus2] [A]
With [D]my boots and my cover and an old M[G]-16
Two [D]bottles of water and a [Asus2]cold M[D]RE
Chorus
[G]Oh you meet lots of new friends and [D]sure to get paid
We’ll [G]show you the world and t[E]each you a[Asus2] trade[Asus4] [Asus2] [A]
Not a [D]job it’s an adventure, oh yes sir I [G]got that,
but [D]you never told me I [Asus2]get my ass sh[D]ot at
The [D]first night on combat we [G]went on [D]patrol
They ambushed our convoy and we [E]chased the[Asus2] assho[Asus4]les[Asus2] [A]
We f[D]ound them all hiding in low water d[G]itches
Took a[D]im and we killed all of them [Asus2]son of a [D]bitches
Chorus
[G]Oh you meet lots of new friends and [D]sure to get paid
We’ll [G]show you the world and t[E]each you a[Asus2] trade[Asus4] [Asus2] [A]

but [D]you never told me I [Asus2]get my ass sh[D]ot at
Slow Singe Strum:
Walked [D]in on my buddy with [G]female [D]MP,
Ugliest woman yo[E]u’ve ever [Asus2]seen
He said [D]why are you laughing you have lots of [G]nerve
Over [D]here in the desert we [Asus2]grade on a [D]curve
Chorus
[G]Oh you meet lots of new friends and [D]sure to get paid
We’ll [G]show you the world and t[E]each you a[Asus2] trade[Asus4] [Asus2] [A]
