Verse 1:

E E7 A E

Let me tell you the story of a soldier named Dan

E E7 A E

Went out to fight the good fight in South Vietnam

E E7 A E

Went out to fight for peace, liberty and all

D/E* D/C# E

Went out to fight for equality, Hope, let’s go

Chorus:

Em7 Em6 E

And the wa----------r drags on

Verse 2: (same progression as verse 1)

Found himself involved in a sea of blood and bones

millions without faces--without hope and without homes

and the guns they grew louder as they made dust out of bones

that the flesh had long since left just as the people left their homes

::Repeat Chorus::

Verse 3:

They’re just there to make the people free

but the way that they’re doing it, it don’t seem like that to me

just more blood letting and misery and tears

that this poor country’s known for the last twenty years

::Repeat Chorus::

Verse 4:

Last night young Dan had a nightmare it seems

one that kept occurring and reoccurring in his dreams

cities full of people running screaming and shouting loud

and right there overhead was a great orange mushroom cloud

Bridge:

D/E* D/C# E

and there’s no---------- more war

cause there’s no more world

and my tears come screaming down

yes I like crying on------ the ground

::Repeat Intro and fade with harmonica::
