[A] I [Dm] was a P.S. [F].C. on a search [G] patrol hunting [Bb] Charlie down. [Dm] It was in the [C] jungle wars of [Dm] 65. My weapon [F] jammed and I got [G] stuck way out in [Bb] all alone. And I could [F] hear the [C] enemy moving in [Dm] close outside. [F] Just then I [C] heard a twig snap [Gm] and I grabbed my [Dm] empty gun. [F] And I [Am] dug and stared while I counted down [Dm] my fate. [F] And then a [C] big marine, a [Gm] giant with a pair [Dm] of friendly eyes, [Am] appeared there at my shoulder and [Dm] said wait. When he came in [F] close beside me, he [G] said don't worry son, [Bb] I'm here. [Dm] If Charlie wants to [C] tangle now, he'll have to [Dm] to die. I said well [F] thanks a lot. I [G] told him my name and [Bb] asked him his. [Dm] And he said the [C] boys just [Dm] call me Camouflage. Whoa, [F] [G] [Bb] [Dm] Camouflage, things are [C] never quite the way [Dm] they seem. Whoa, [G] [Dm] Camouflage, I was awfully glad [C] to see this [Dm] big marine. Well we [F] fought all night, side by [G] side we took our [Bb] battle stance. [Dm] And I wondered how [C] the bullets missed [Dm] this man. Cause they seemed to go [F] right through him, [G] just as if he [Bb] wasn't there. [Dm] And the more that we [C] both took a [Dm] chance and ran. [F] And it was near the [C] river bank [Gm] when the ambush [Dm] came on [F] top of us. And I [Am] thought it was the end that we [Gm] would [F] have. Then a bullet [C] with my name on [Gm] it came buzzing through [F] a bush. And that big marine [Am] just swat it [G] with his hand. [Bb] Just like it was a fly. [A] [Dm] Whoa, [F] [G] [Dm] Camouflage, things are [C] never quite the way [Dm] they seem. Whoa, [G] [Bb] [Dm] Camouflage, this [C] was an awfully [Dm] strange marine. [F] And I knew [C] there was something weird about him. [Gm] Cause when I [Dm] turned around he was pulling a big [F] palm tree right up out of [Am] the ground. And [G] swatting those charlies with it [Bb] from here to Kingdom Come. [A] [Dm] When he led me out of danger I saw my camp and waved goodbye. He just [F] waved at me from the [G] jungle and [Dm] then was gone. And when I got back to my HQ I told him about my night. [F] And the battle I'd spent [G] with a big marine [Dm] named Camouflage. [F] When I said his [Am] name the soldier [Gm] gulped and a medic took [Dm] my arm. [F] And led me [Am] to a green tent [Dm] on the right. [F] He said you may be [C] telling true, boy, [Gm] but this here is [Dm] Camouflage. [F] And he's been right here [Am] since he passed [G] away last night. [Bb] In fact he's been here all week [A] long. [Dm] But before he went [F] he said Semper Fi [G] and said his [Gm] only wish was to save a young [C] marine caught in [Dm] a barrage. So here, take his [F] dog tag, son. [G] I know he'd want you to have [Bb] it now. [Dm] And we both said a prayer [C] for a big marine [Dm] named Camouflage. [F] Whoa, [G] [Bb] [Dm] Camouflage, things are [C] never quite the way [Dm] they seem. Whoa, [F] [G] [Bb] [Dm] Camouflage, this [C] was an awfully big [Dm] marine. Whoa, [G] [Dm] Camouflage, things are [C] never quite the way [Dm] they seem. Whoa, [G] [Bb] [Dm] Camouflage, this [C] was an awfully [Dm] big marine. [F] [Am] Whoa, Camouflage, things are never quite the way they seem. [Dm]
