_ [G] _ _ _ _ [Bb] I _
_ [A] _ _ was [D] a PFC [F] on a search patrol [G] on Charlie [Bb] Down.
It [Dm] was in the jungle [C] wars of [Dm] 65.
_ _ My weapon jammed [F] and I got stuck [G] way out in all [Bb] alone.
And I [Dm] could hear the enemy [C] moving in close [Dm] outside.
_ _ [F] Just then I heard a [C] quick snap and I [Gm] grabbed my empty [Dm] gun.
And [F] I dug and stared [Am] while I counted down [Dm] my fate.
_ _ [F] And then a big [C] marine, a giant [Gm] with a pair of [Dm] friendly eyes,
[F] appeared there at [Am] my shoulder and said, [Dm] wait.
_ When he came in close [F] beside me, he said, [G] don't worry son, [Bb] I'm here.
[Dm] If Charlie wants to tag me [C] now, he'll [Dm] have to die.
_ I said, well thanks [F] a lot.
I told him [G] my name and asked him [Bb] his.
And he [Dm] said, the boys [C] just call [Dm] me Camouflage.
_ _ _ Whoa, _ [G] _ _ [Bb] Camouflage, [Dm] things are never [C] quite the way they [Dm] seem.
_ _ _ Whoa, _ [G] _ _ [Bb] Camouflage, I [Dm] was awfully glad to [C] see this big [Dm] marine.
_ Well, I was going to [C] ask him where he came from when [Gm] we heard the bullets [Dm] fly.
Coming [F] through the [Am] brush all around [Dm] our ear.
_ [F] It was then I saw [C] this big marine light [Gm] a fire in his [Dm] eye.
And it [Am] was strange, suddenly I forgot my [G] fears.
_ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ [Bb] _ _ [Dm] _ _ [C] _
_ [Dm] _ _ Well, we fought all night and [F] side by side we [G] took our battle [Bb] stance.
And [Dm] I wondered how the [C] bullets missed this [Dm] man.
_ Because they seemed to go right [F] through him, just [G] as if he wasn't [Bb] there.
And [Dm] the more that we both [C] took a chance, [Dm] ran.
_ [F] And it was near the river [C] bank when the [Gm] ambush came [F] on top of us.
And I thought it was the [Am] end, we were [Dm] hacked.
Then [F] a bullet with [C] my name on it came [Gm] buzzing through a [F] bush.
And that big [Am] marine, he just swat it with [G] his head.
_ _ [Bb] Just like a work of fire.
_ [A] _ _ _ _ [Dm] Whoa, _
_ [G] _ [Bb] _ Camouflage, [Dm] things are never [C] quite the way [Dm] they seem.
_ _ Whoa, _
_ [G] _ _ [Bb] Camouflage, [Dm] this was [C] an awfully strange [Dm] marine.
_ _ _ [F] _ _ [C] _
_ [Gm] _ _ [Dm] _ _ [F] _ _ [Am] _
_ [Dm] _ _ And [F] I knew there was something [C] weird about him.
[Gm] Because when I turned around [Dm] he was pulling a big [F] palm tree right up out of the [Am] ground.
[G] And swatting those charlies with it [Bb] from here to kingdom come.
_ [A] _ _ When [Dm] he led me out of danger I saw [G] my camp and waved [Bb] goodbye.
He [F] just rigged me from [C] the jungle and then [Dm] was gone.
And when I got back to [F] my HQ I [G] told him about [Bb] my night.
[Dm] And the battle [F] I'd spent with [C] a big marine [Dm] in camouflage.
_ When [F] I said his name [Am] the soldier gulped [Dm] and a medic took my arm.
[F] And led me to [Am] a green tent on [Dm] the right.
_ He [F] said you may be telling [Am] true, boy, but [Bb] this here is [Dm] Camouflage.
And [F] he's been right here [Am] since he passed away [G] last night.
_ _ [Bb] In fact he's been here all week long.
[A] _ _ _ [Dm] But before he went he [F] said Semper Fi.
[G] And said his only [Bb] wish was to save [C] a young marine caught in a [Dm] barrage.
_ So here, take his dog tag, [F] son.
I [G] know he wants you to have [Bb] it now.
[Dm] And we both said a prayer [C] for a big marine [Dm] named Camouflage.
_ _ Whoa, _ [G] _ _ [Bb] Camouflage.
[Dm] Things are never [C] quite the way [Dm] they seem.
_ _ _ Whoa, _ [G] _ [Bb] _ _ [Dm] Camouflage.
This was [C] an awfully good [Dm] marine.
_ So next [Cm] time you're in a jungle fight and you feel a presence [F] near.
Or hear a voice that [Dm] in your mind will lie.
_ _ [Fm] Just be thankful that you're not alone.
[C] And [Dm] you've got some company from a big marine.
Boys called _ [G] Camouflage.
_ _ _ [Gm] _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _ _
[G] Whoa, _ [Bb] _ [Dm] Camouflage.
Things are [C] never quite the [Dm] way they seem. _ _ _ _
Whoa, [G] _ _ [Bb] _ [Dm] Camouflage.
This [C] was an awfully [Dm] good marine.
_ _ _ Whoa, _ _ [G] _ [Bb] _ [Dm] Camouflage.
Things are [C] never quite the [Dm] way they seem. _ _ _ _
