Verse 1
and a purple heart
D
I rolled down the national stroll
G
Am
And with a big fat paycheck
strapped to my hip sack
D
Em
And a shore leave wristwatch
underneath my sleeve
Bm
D
In a Hong Kong drizzle on Cuban heels
Am
Em
I rolled down the gutter to the Blood Bank
D
Am
Em
And I'd left all my papers
on the Ticonderoga
And I was in a bad need of a shave
Am
D
And I slopped at the corner
Am
on cold chow mein
And shot billards with a midget until
Em
the rain stopped
G
Bm
And I bought a long- sleeved shirt
with horses on the front
Am
And some gum and a lighter and a knife
Em
And a new deck of cards with
girls on the back
And I sat down and wrote
a letter to my wife
And I said baby,
Am
I'm so far away from home
Em
And I miss my baby so
Bm
D
Well, I can't make it by myself
Em
G
Em
I love you so
G
Em
And I was pacing myself
Trying to make it all last
Squeezing all the life out of
Am
a lousy- two day pass
D
Am
And I had a cold one at the Dragon
Em
With some Filipino floor show
And I talked baseball with a lieutenant
Bm
over a Singapore sling
Em
Am
And I wondered how the same moon outside
Em
F#
over this Chinatown fair
Bm
Could look down on Illinois
Em
And find you there
And you know I love you baby
And I'm so far away from home
Am
I'm so far away from home
Em
