this song makes me cry...

Intro-
C G C G

Verse-
     C                     G
Its January 1970, do you remember me
     F                                      G
You put me on a boat across the sea, in the name of victory
    C                                                 G
But much to my surprised when I arrived, there was no welcoming committee
  F                                                G
Instead there was a man for me to kill, and now I see all this too real

Refrain-
C                        G     
Then I saw him standing with a bayonet
F                           G
and as I ran towards him he hardly broke a sweat
 C                        G
When I took his life he fell to his knees
 F                        G
And as his eyes began to fade he whispered softly

Chorus-
C                      G
Godspeed this letter, away from here
     F                           G
I've sealed it with my tears, and stamped it with my fists
    C                      G 
And godspeed this letter, away from you
    F
My work down here is through
G
I'm on my way to better days
     C         G   F   G    
And so are you

Do Verse-
C                                                                G
I'm in his pocket that I saw the picture of his children and his family
    F                                             G
And I began to realize this person I despised, in actuality
     C                      
Was not much different from myself
 C                                       G
we porbably could have taught each other many things
    F                              F           
And now I know its much too late although I couldn't hesistate
 G
I checked his gun, and his chamber was empty

Do Refrain-
Then I saw him standing with a bayonet
and as I ran towards him he hardly broke a sweat
When I took his life he fell to his knees
And as his eyes began to fade he whispered softly

Chorus-
C                     G
Godspeed this letter, away from here
     F                           G
I've sealed it with my tears, and stamped it with my fists
    C                     G 
And godspeed this letter, away from you
F
My work down here is through
G
I'm on my way to better days      
And so are you

Bridge-
Bb F
o-ho
                      C      G                
We know not what we've done
    Bb F
And o-ho
                      C      G 
We know not what we've done

Chorus-
C                     G
Godspeed this letter, away from here
     F                           G
I've sealed it with my tears, and stamped it with my fists
    C                     G 
And godspeed this letter, away from you
F
My work down here is through
G
I'm on my way to better days
    C      
And so are you
