Verse 1
E
A
E
A
E
He
recalls late in the 60s
How he used to get so angry
A
E
At the hippies demonstrating
B
against the war in Vietnam
He was raised an Eisenhower,
E
B
hated flower power
So all the way with LBJ
E
he could easily understand
He was proud to serve his country
and the cause of truth and justice
Though now and then
he wondered
B
when the killing would all cease
But he was sent to fight,
E
B
believing he was in the right
To dedicate the best years of his life
And he remembers all the stories
the old men used to tell him
Of their days in the South Pacific
All the battles and the heroes,
the torpedoes and the zeroes
And how they thanked the Lord
E
the day the A -bomb stopped it all
They'd been proud to serve their country
and the cause of truth and justice
Never doubting for a moment
B
they were right in their belief
Cause they were out there
fighting for a war to end all other wars
And give the best years of their lives
E
so the world could live in peace
A
Now he listens to his grandkids
E
telling him any war is wrong
A
They don't see the future
E
down the barrel of a gun
A
They believe that in their lifetime
E
A
a change is gonna come
F#m
And the power of words
B
will surely save the world
E
Then he reads the morning papers
and he watches late night news
And he sees the truth
behind all these conflicting
E
B
From Mexico, North Africa,
Iraq or Afghanistan
E
B
If you're talking to a bullet,
A
E
the power of words won't have a chance
And as long as there's a country
and a cause of truth and justice
Sometimes someone somewhere's
B
gonna die for their beliefs
Though it don't seem right,
it's just a cold hard fact of life
Where all soldiers call to fight
E
the never -ending war for peace
B
Though it don't seem right,
it's just the cold hard fact of life
Where all soldiers call to fight
E
the never -ending war for peace
He recalls, late in the sixties,
how he used to get so angry
And the hippies demonstrated
B
against the war in Vietnam
He was raised in Eisenhower,
he hated Flau -Pau
But you oughta pay the bounty
if you think he needs me
