(A minor) (G major) (F major) (A minor)
Verse 1
(A minor) Just out of the
in (G major) fantry this morning, (F major)
I had (A minor) to pay my (G major) dues across the sea, (F major)
But (G major) no one back in boot (F major) camp
ever warned (A minor) me,
What the (G major) readjustment blues (F major)
would do to me. (A minor) (G major)
(A minor) "Welcome to Havan (G major) nah",
said the pi (F major) lot,
(A minor) "We must have made a wrong
(G major) turn on the way." (F major)
(G major) "Let's buy some cigars (F major)
and keep it quiet, (A minor)
If (G major) they don't know we're here (F major)
we'll get away." (A minor)
Just as I had real (G major) ized he was (F major) joking,
I (A minor) saw we were in (G major) Washington D.C., (F major)
'Cause (G major) there was all the pat (F major)
riotic buildings. (A minor)
(G major) Just like I had seen (F major) them on T.V.
(A minor) It (G major) must have been a holiday,
(F major) 'cause there was (A minor) this parade. (C major)
(G major) People carried signs I couldn't read (F major)
that they (A minor) had made. (C major) (E minor)
'Till I got closer (A minor) and my (F major) heart
fell to my (C major) socks;
There was a battle ra (G major) ging and
The air was filled (F major) with teargas and rocks.
(A minor) There was the flag I'd (G major) fought
against so of (F major) ten,
The (A minor) one I fought for (G major) hanging
upside (F major) down,
The (G major) wind was blowing hard,
(F major) the dirt was flying, (A minor)
It (G major) made the city sky (F major) look
dark and brown. (A minor)
I saw a girl,
(G major) she could have been my sister (F major) ,
(A minor) Except her hair was long
(G major) and in her face, (F major)
She (G major) explained this was (F major) a
demon (A minor) stration,
Against (G major) the war and (F major) for the
human race. (A minor)
Now I've seen a lot of strange (G major)
things in my travels, (F major)
(A minor) Cannibals, yes, (G major) and aliens galore, (F major)
But I (G major) never thought I'd see (F major)
so many people (A minor)
Saying (G major) we don't want (F major) your (A minor) + + + war!
(G major) The troops all had on uniforms
(F major) Just like the one I'd (A minor) worn, (C major)
But (G major) they were all domestic and
my (F major) duty chose (G major) war. (C major) (E minor)
They carried guns (A minor) just like the
(F major) ones across the sea,
Except (C major) this time I was the (G major) citizen
And they were (F major) pointing their guns at (A minor) me,
Yes, I (C major) was just a citizen (G major) and
I was (F major) walking down the street, (A minor)
And it was (C major) just then that the
Re (G major) adjustment Blues (F major)
