And we had chow by the pale moonlight

C
A lovely dinner they planned for us

for the Viet Cong to find,
G
C
D

deadlier than a landmine.
C
Naturally somebody told a joke
D
and a couple of the veterans began to smoke.
G
C
I took a whiff as the cloud rolled by
D
and my nose went up like an

ammo belt, Dunlop sandals.
