(G major) (C major) (D major) (G major) (C major) (D major)
(G major) We won't forget
Verse 1
Korea
(C major) and we can (D major) 't forget old (G major) Guam
For Syngman Rhee and (C major) Stalin,
they (D major) made us feel at home
(G major) They saved (A major) their biggest fireworks
till the marine reserves came (D major) through
And (G major) all we got was a (C major) crock of turds
from you and (D major) you and (G major) you (C major) (D major) (G major) (C major) (D major)
(G major) The mortars were terri (C major) fic
and the small (D major) arms were intense
(G major) The flyboys bombed the (C major) front lines
and the (D major) gobs stood on the (G major) fence
The (A major) regulars took the desk jobs,
the reserves were called en (D major) masse
And they (G major) knew that the marine (C major) reserves
were there (D major) to (F major) save their (G major) ass (C major) (D major) (C major) (G major) (C major)
(D major)
(G major) Then Congress sent a (C major) tour around
and they (D major) loaded up with scotch
(G major) While they were really liv (C major) in',
we had (D major) forties up the crotch
(G major) They cried, (A major) let's kill the bastards,
let's drive them to their knees
(G major) But there weren't any con (C major) gressmen
in the list of (G major) casualties (C major) (D major) (G major) (C major) (D major)
(G major) We love you dear old (C major) U .S .A.
with all (D major) our aching hearts
(G major) That's why we joined the (C major) dam reserved
and (D major) tried to do our parts
(G major) And (A major) we won't cry or squawk
because we're fighting all alone
(D major) Someday (G major) the regulars (C major) may come
and then we'll all go (G major) home
(C major) (D major) (G major) (A minor) (C major)
(G major)
I'm going to raise a (C major) family
when this (D major) cruel war is (G major) through
I hope I'll have a boun (C major) cing boy
to tell (D major) my stories to (G major)
But if someday (A major) when he grows up
he joins the Marine Reserve
(D major) I'll (G major) kick his ass from (C major) dawn to dusk,
cause (G major) that's what (C major) he'll
de (G major) serve
