Chords in this song
Strum
D-DU-UDU
Well Come on all you big strong men
Uncle sam needs your help again
Hes got hiself in a fuck of a jam
Way down yonder in South Vietnam
So put down your books and pick up your guns
cause were gonna have a whole lot of fun
And its one two three
what are we fighting for, dont ask me I dont give a damn
next stop is vietnam
and its five six seven open up the pearly gates
well there aint no time to wonder why
whoppie were all going to die
Well thats it roughly. I think I have the chords in the right places, but
I dont have my guitar with me so I not entirely sure. You should find that it
comes together mostly. The C Cmin G bit is best played at the third fret as a
barre. I always play this fairly fast, and loud. Its actually quite a party
piece. There is after all nothing quite like at 20 year old Vietnam protest song
to prove what an irrelevant washed out old hippie that you really are
