Vietnam, Vietnam, Vietnam

                    C                                 F
Yesterday I got a letter from my friend fighting in Vietnam
D7           G              C
And this is what he had to say
                                              F
Tell all my friends that I'll be coming home soon
D7              G               C
My time will be up sometime in June
                                        F

D7           G                C
Her golden lips as sweet as cherries

It was just the next day his mother got a telegram
It was addressed from Vietnam

"But Mistress Brown, your son is dead"
And it came from ...CHORUS

Somebody please stop that war now!  ...SOLO
