[N] Give me an F!
Give me a U!
Give me a C!
[G#]
Give me a K!
What's that spell?
[D#]
[C#] [A]
[Em] Well, come on, all of you big strong [A] men
Uncle Sam needs your help again
[Em] Got himself in a terrible [A] jam
Way down yonder in Vietnam
[F#] Put down your books and pick [B] up a gun
We're gonna have a whole [A] lot of fun
And [B] it's one, two, three
What [A] are we fighting for?
Don't [E] ask me, I don't give a damn
The next [A] stop is Vietnam
[B] And it's five, six, seven
[A] Open up the pearly gates
Well, [F#] there ain't no time to wonder [E] why
We're all gonna die
[Em] Now come on, Wall Street, don't be [A] slow
Why, man, this is war, go, go
[Em] There's plenty of good money to be made
[A] Supplying the army, we'll do the [F#] trade
Just so we're paid if we drop the bomb
We're jogging on the [A] Vietcong
And [B] it's one, two, three
What are [A] we fighting for?
Don't ask me, I don't give a damn
[E] The next stop [A] is Vietnam
[B] And it's five, six, seven
[A] Open up the pearly gates
Well, [F#] there ain't no time to wonder
[E] Why we're all gonna [A]
[Em] die
Now come on, generals, let's move [B] fast
Your big chance is here at [Em] last
Now you can go out and get those [A] reds
Cause the only good commie is one that's [F#] dead
And you know that peace can only be [B] won
When you're blowing them all to kingdom come Sing [F#] it!
One, two, three
[A] What are we fighting for?
[B] Don't ask me, I don't give a damn
The next stop is Vietnam
[Em] And it's five, six, seven
[A] Open up the pearly gates
[F#] Well, there ain't [B] no time [B] to wonder
Why we're all gonna [A] die
