[Cm] [Fm]
[Ab] [Cm] I got on a plane in Frisco and got off in Vietnam.
I walked into a different world, [Fm] [Eb] past forever [Ab] [Eb] gone.
[Fm] I could have gone [Gm] to Canada or I could have [Cm] stayed in school.
[C] [Fm] But I was brought [Ab] up differently.
[Bb] I couldn't break [G] the rules.
[Cm] Thirteen months and fifteen days, [Ab] the last ones were the worst.
[Cm] One minute I'd kneel down and [Ab] pray and the next I'd stand cursed.
[E] [Fm]
No place [Gm] to run to where [Cm] I did not feel that war.
[Fm] When I got home, [Ab] I stayed alone [Bb] and checked behind [G] each door.
Cause [C] I'm still in Saigon, [Cm] [Ab] still in Saigon.
I [Cm] am still in Saigon in [Ab] my
[Gm] mind.
[Fm] The [Eb] ground at home was covered in snow [Fm] and [Gm] I was covered with [Ab] sweat.
[Cm] My younger brother calls me [Fm] a killer and my [Eb] daddy calls me [Ab] a vet.
[Fm] Everybody says I'm [Gm] someone else, that [Cm] I'm sick and there's no cure.
[Fm] Damn, if I know [Ab] who I am, there [Bb] was only one place I [G] was sure when I [Cm] was still in Saigon.
Still [Ab] in Saigon.
I [C] am still in Saigon [Gm] in [Ab] my [Eb]
mind.
[Fm] [Ab] Every summer [D] when it rains, [Ab] I smell the jungle, [D] I hear the plains.
[Ab] Can't tell no [D] one, I feel ashamed.
[Bb] I pray someday I'll [G] go inside.

[Cm] That's been ten long years ago [Ab] and time has gone on by.
But [Cm] now and then I catch myself [Fm] eye [Eb] searching through the [Ab]
sky.
[Fm] All the sounds of [Gm]
long ago [Cm] will be forever in my head.
[Fm] Spangled with [Ab] the wounded cries and [Bb] the silence of the [G]
dead.
Cause I'm [C] still in Saigon,
[Cm] [Ab] still in Saigon.
I am [C] still in Saigon
[Eb] in my [Ab] mind.
[C] [Cm] Still in Saigon.
I [Ab] am still in Saigon.
Cause [Cm] I'm still in Saigon.
Goodbye [Ab] my, [Gm] [Fm]
[C] [Bb]
[Cm] [Bb] [Cm] I'm still in Saigon.
