Verse
A#
Now, he didn't ask to go
F
But Ol' Sammy called his number
Dm
He boarded that old Greyhound bus
D#
And said goodbye to his mother
A#
Headed for Fort Benning, Georgia
F
Basic training in the summer
Dm
He said "I was young and tough
D#
But that ol' drill sergeant was tougher"
A# F
Yellin, y'all gonna learn how to suffer
Dm
I'm gonna make a man of all you chumps
D#
They shaved his head and gave him a number
[Chorus]
A# F
U.S. 5 3 4 3 5 3 1 9
Gm
In army green with an M-16
D#
In 1965
A#
He was fighting for me
F
Way before my time
Gm
When he sees Ol' Glory raised
D# A#
He still cries like it's 1965
F Dm D#
Yeah, 1965
[Verse 2]
A#
Now he didn't ask to go
F
But them Hueys dropped him off, and
That's when the enemy got real
D#
Body bags headed for coffins
A# F
He didn't know how much being an American would cost him
He said "we were young and we were rough
D#
But sometimes those Viet Cong were also"
A# F
And they sure knew how to suffer
We were all married to our guns
D#
The fear of death, and a number
[Chorus]
A# F
U.S. 5 3 4 3 5 3 1 9
Gm
In army green with an M-16
D#
In 1965
A#
He was fighting for me
F
Way before my time
Gm
When he sees Ol' Glory raised
D# A#
He still cries like it's 1965
F
'65, oh
[Bridge]
Dm D#
And then one day his little grandson jumped up on his lap
A#
Saw a bunch of medals that were in a frame
F
And said, "Were you in the war grandpa?"
He said "Yeah"
Dm
He said "Were you scared?
Did you kill anybody?"
Nah
D#
"How'd you do it?"
He just laughed and said
[Verse 3]
A#
"Keep your head down
And keep your gun up
F
G little bit of sense
And a whole lotta luck
Dm A#m
Is all a man in this here world
D#
Can hope for"
He said
A#
"Keep your head down
And keep your gun up
F
G little bit of sense
And a whole lotta luck

And as many prayers
D#
As you can say to the Lord"
