[C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ When I was home [G] on Sky Hill [Am] [G] Drive, [Am] was [G] electronically [C]
[G] alive.
[Am] _ _ [Bm] But [Am] now I'm living in [G]
[Am] Vandenberg, [G] _ _ [Am] so [G] militarily [C] absurd.
When things all slow down on the [Am] base, [Dm] _ _ [G] [Ab] we can [Dm] shoot till gas in the [G] dummy's face.
[Am] _ _ [Bm] We can stick [Am] our ballots [Eb] in the [Am] ground.
[Dm] When [G] [C] the president [Dm] comes we'll stand [Bb] around.
[Bm] He'll give [C] a dollar [Bb] for your things, [Ab] oh, two dollars for your [G] eyes.
He'll pay the price of freedom for [Bb] us, oh, [C] realize.
_ _ [Gm] _ _ _ _
_ [Em] _ _ _ _ _ [G] Well, I guess I'll help in Vietnam.
_ _ Teach them how to vote and [Am] how to bomb.
_ _ My life's a small enough [G] price to pay.
_ Teach those commies [A] American way.
[C] Though I'm laying [A] on [G] my [Gb] face [G] _
[C] and the death [G] explosions [Am] every place. _
I thought I heard the medic [G] say _ he's blind.
[E] I guess [G] I'm next to stand [A] in [C] line.
He'll give a dollar for [Bb] my things, oh, [Ab] two dollars for my [C] eyes.
He'll pay the [G] price of freedom [Ab] now, I [Bb] [C] realize.
I could see the [Bb] world's a better [Ab] place if I could see it all.
[G] I hear my German Shepherd [Bb] coming down [C] the hall.
