C
F
*...* Denotes spoken part
C
People staring at me as they wheel me down
G
the ramp toward my plane
The war is over for me,
C
I've forgotten everything except the pain
Thank you sir, and yes sir,
G
it was worth it for the ol' red, white and blue
And since I won't be walking I suppose I'll
C
save some money buying shoes
Verse 2
C
The bottle hidden underneath
G
the blanket over my two battered legs
I can see the stewardess make over
C
me and ask "Were you afraid?"
I'll say, "Why no I'm Superman,
G
and couldn't find the phone booth quite in time."
A GI gets a lot of laughs if he remembers
Verse 3
C
pie, Daddy kill a chicken
Your son is coming home,
F
C
11: 35 Wednesday night
Verse 4
C
G
*Mama will be crying and Daddy's gonna say "Son,
did they treat you good?"
My uncle will be drunk and he'll say, "Boy,
C
they doing some real great things with wood."*
The letter that she wrote me said good- bye,
G
she couldn't wait and lots of luck
The bottle underneath the blanket feels
C
just like an old friend to my touch
Verse 5
C
I know she'll come and see me but I bet
G
she never once looks at my legs
Naw, she'll talk about the weather and the
C
dress she wore the July 4th parade
Lord, I love her and I don't believe this
G
bottle's gonna get her off my mind
I see here in the paper,
C
where they say the war is just a waste of time
F
(Chorus)
