Draft Resister

Dm7

Dm7
He was talkin' 'bout the army
Dm7
While he passed his pipe around
Dm7
An American deserter
Dm7
Who found peace on Swedish ground

Dm7
He had joined to seek adventure
Dm7
And to prove himself a man
Dm7
But they tried to crush his spirit
Dm7
'Til his conscience ruined their plans

Db                C
And we thought of those who suffer
Db              C
For the sake of honesty
Db              C
All those who refuse to follow
Db            C
Traitors to humanity

Dm7
Here's to all the draft resisters
Dm7
Who will fight for sanity
Dm7
When they march them off to prison
Dm7
In this land of liberty

Db                  C
Heed the threat and awesome power
Db               C
Of the mighty Pentagon
Db               C
Which is wasting precious millions
Db             C
On the toys of Washington

Em7

Dm7
Don't forget the Draft Resisters
Dm7
And their silent, lonely plea
Dm7
When they march 'em off to prison
Dm7
They will go for you and me

Db                  C
Shame, disgrace and all dishonor
Db              C
Wrongly placed upon their heads
Db                C
Will not rob them of the courage
Db                C
Which betrays the innocent
