Robert was a sailor [F] for the best years of his life.
His captain was [C] his mother _ and the [B] ocean was [G] his wife. _
[C] Only fresh out of the cradle, _ life's [G] one and only [F] _ spring.
He was sworn to [C] do his duty and [G] got blood on his high [C] school ring. _
And it's a hello _ _ California, _ _ hello dad [F] and mom. _
Ship ahoy, [C] your baby boy is home [Em] from Vietnam.

[C] Don't you ask me any questions about the [G] medals [F] on my chest.
Take the star out [C] of the window [G] and let my conscience [C] take a _ rest.

_ _ _ Now he sailed across the ocean to the old [G] far [F] eastern war.
And it was foreign to [C] his body, _ it was [B] foreign to [G] his shore.
_ [C] So he traded in the present _ for the better [G] times [F] he'd seen.
Made an _ _ [C] oriental waitress [G] his own homecoming [C] queen.
And it's a hello _ _ California, _ _ hello [D] dad [F] and mom.
_ Ship ahoy, [C] your baby boy is home [B] from [G] Vietnam.
_ _ [C] Don't you ask me any _ [Gm] questions about the medals on [F] my chest.
Take the star out of [C] the window and [G] let my [A] conscience take a [C] rest. _ _ _ _ _
