Intro: E  D  B  A  G  A  E
       G  F#m  E
       B  G
E
The bars are crowded, with wasted youth
D                          E
You just went, you didn't know the truth
E
You don't know that kid, when you look back
       D                  E
You remember the music, paint it black
E
You had a brother in the movement, and he burned his card
           D                        E
He's got a job in the white house, ain't life hard
E
You came back a hero, on a stolen horse
D                      E
You don't fit in, you can't stay the course (and you say)
B                      F#m
I may be right, don't care if I'm wrong
        A         E
It's a veteran's song
B                      F#m
I may be right, don't care if I'm wrong
        A   G         E
It's a veeeeeeteran's song
E
The band paraded, playing "Oh gung ho"
D                         E
Your country needs you, you've got to go
E
When you came over, they said "Soldier go back"
D                                E
When you came home, they put you on the rack
E
Between agent Orange, and the jungle and fear
D                          E
You're just surviving, to get out of here
E
You smoke some more herb, and you keep your head down
D                         E
Could be your number, is on the next round. (you say)
B                      F#m
I may be right, don't care if I'm wrong
        A         E
It's a veteran's song
B                      F#m
I may be right, don't care if I'm wrong

The bars are crowded, with wasted youth

You just went, you didn't know the truth
E
You don't know that kid, when you look back
       D                  E
You remember the music, paint it black
   B                      F#m
