Make the open E-major shape with your index (pointer, first) finger on the G string. 2. Strum once, then release your index finger from the G string as you begin to slide down 3. As you are sliding down, place your pinky (fourth) finger on the G string and your index finger on the A string. Your ring finger (third) should remain on the D string for the open chord and the entire slide. ***************************************************************************** Verse 1: E5 E5 A5 E5 Let me tell you the story of a soldier named Dan E5 E5 A5 E5 Went out to fight the good fight in South Vietnam E5 E5 A5 E5 Went out to fight for peace, liberty and all D5 * D5 E5 Went out to fight for equality, Hope, let?s go Chorus: E5 E5 E5 And the wa----------r drags on Verse 2: (same progression as verse 1) Found himself involved in a sea of blood and bones millions without faces--without hope and without homes and the guns they grew louder as they made dust out of bones that the flesh had long since left just as the people left their homes ::Repeat Chorus:: Verse 3: They?re just there to make the people free but the way that they?re doing it, it don?t seem like that to me just more blood letting and misery and tears that this poor country?s known for the last twenty years ::Repeat Chorus:: Verse 4: Last night young Dan had a nightmare it seems one that kept occurring and reoccurring in his dreams cities full of people running screaming and shouting loud and right overhead was a great orange mushroom cloud Bridge: D5 * D5 E5 and there?s no---------- more war cause there?s no more world and my tears come screaming down yes I like crying on------ the ground ::Repeat Intro and fade with harmonica::
