Verse 1
I was proud (A minor) to be the sol (C major) dier
I had been (G major) since '83
When I joined (A minor) to pay for col (F major) lege
Like my (Esus4) brothers be (E major) fore me
I was proud (A minor) to serve my (C major) country
And to (G major) be a fine Marine
But pride (A minor) can not protect (F major) me
From the thing (E major) s that I have seen (A minor) (F major)

Verse 2
When they shipped (A minor) us out of Nor (C major) folk
My fam (G major) ily came to wave
My Mama (A minor) stood there
(F major) Choking back the tears (Esus4)
and looking brave (E major)
And though (A minor) we (G major) never spoke (C major) of it
We all (G major) feared it just the same
Now they (A minor) tell me I should
(F major) talk about
The thing (Esus4) (E major) s that I have seen (A minor) (F major) (G major)
Verse 3
I was (F major) trained to take the good shot
I was (G major) trained to clean my
gun (A minor)
They trained (F major) me not to talk
back
And they trained (E major) me not to run (F major)
I (G major) was (A minor) trained to be as silent (C major)
As the (G major) shadow of a hawk
But no one trained (A minor) me for the si (F major) lence
Of the (Esus4) thing (E major) s that I have seen (A minor)
(F major) (C major) (G major) (A minor) (F major) (C major) (G major)
Verse 4
Once (A minor) I saw an ac (C major) cident
Out on (G major) Old Rt. 17
Mama told (A minor) me not to look at (F major) it
As we slowly (Esus4) passed the scene (E major)
Thought the (A minor) image of that (C major) wreckage
Was (G major) burned into my brain
(A minor) That did not prepare (F major) me
For the thing (Esus4) (E major) s that I have seen (A minor) (F major) (C major)
(G major) I thought
Verse 5
(F major) I was a good man
I (G major) thought I was elite (A minor)
I (F major) thought I'd fight the good fight
And that I'd (Esus4) never see (E major) defeat
(F major) Then (G major) we (A minor) won that bloody war
(C major) And how we laughed (G major) at their retreat
Now I (A minor) wage a losing (F major) battle
Against the (Esus4) thing (E major) s that I have seen

Verse 6
Be glad (A minor) that modern sci (C major) ence
Has (G major) given us so much
We can rifle (A minor) through the (F major) channels
Without (E major) ever standing up
But I (A minor) can't find a sta (C major) tion
That hasn't (G major) had enough
Of this mor (A minor) bid fascination (F major)
With the thing (Esus4) (E major) s that I have seen (A minor) (F major) (C major)
(G major) And me, (A minor) I can't stop (F major) dreaming
About the things (E major) that I have (F major) seen (G major)
