Country Joe And The Fish - Vietnam Song Live chords

     
     Capo 2


     D
      Well, come on all of you big strong men

      G
      Uncle Sam needs your help, again

           D
      He got himself in a terrible jam

      G
      Way down yonder in Vietnam

      E7
      Put down your books and pick up a gun

                D                    G
      We're gonna have a whole lotta fun

              A7      D7              G
      And it's 1 - 2 - 3, what are we fightin' for?
       
                     D7                                  G
      Don't ask me I don't give a damn, the next stop is Vietnam

               A7      D7             G
      And it's 5 - 6 - 7, open up the pearly gates

                  E7              A7
      Well, there ain't no time to wonder why

               D7                  G
      whoopee!  -  we're all gonna die

          D
      Now come on Wall Street, don't be slow

      G
      Why man, this's war a-go-go
          
             D
      There's plenty good money to be made

      G
      Supplyin' the army with the tools of the trade

      E7
      Just hope and pray that when they drop the bomb

          D                   G
      They drop it on the Viet Cong

               A7     D7              G
      And it's 1 - 2 - 3, what are we fightin' for?

                     D7                                 G
      Don't ask me I don't give a damn, the next stop is Vietnam

               A7      D7             G
      And it's 5 - 6 - 7, open up the pearly gates

                 E                A7
      Well, there ain't no time to wonder why

               D7                G
      whoopee! - we're all gonna die

         D
      Now come on generals, let's move fast

      G
      Your big chance is here at last
      
         D
      At night you go out and get those reds

      G
      Cause the only good commie is one that's dead

     E7    
      You know that peace can only be won

               D                       G
      When you blow 'em all to kingdom come

              A7      D7              G
      And it's 1 - 2 - 3, what are we fightin' for?
