[INTRO]
[Am] [Am] [Am] [G] [G] [G] [G] [F] [F] [F] [F] [Am] [Am] [Am] [Am]

[VERSE 1]
[Am]Just out of the [G]infantry this [F]morning,
[Am]I had to pay my [G]dues across the [F]sea,
But [G]no one back in [F]boot camp ever w[Am]arned me,
What the r[G]eadjustmen[F]t blues would[Am] do to me.

[VERSE 2]
[Am]"Welcome to[G] Havanna[F]h", said the pilot,
[Am]"We must have ma[G]de a wroo[F]oong turn on the way."
[G]"Let's bu[F]y some ciga[Am]rs and keep it quiiiet,
If [G]they don[F]'t know[Am] we're here we'll get away."

[VERSE 3]
[Am]Just as I h[G]ad realize[F]d he was joking,
[Am]I saw we[G] were in [F]Washington D.C.,
'Cause [G]there w[F]as all the[Am] patriotic buiiiiildings.
[G]Just like I had s[F]een them o[Am]n T.V.

[CHORUS 1]
[G]It must have been a holiday,
[F]'cause t[C]here was this parade.
[G]People carried signs I[F] couldn't[C] read that they had made.
[Em] 'Till I got c[Am]loser and my h[F]eart fell to my socks;
[C] There was[G] a battle raging and the air was
[F]Filled with teargas and rocks.

[VERSE 4]
[Am]There was the[G] flag I'd[F] fought against so often,
The [Am]one I fought for [G]hanging upsiiii[F]de down,
The [G]wind was blowing ha-[F]AARD, the d[Am]irt was flying,
It [G]made the c[F]ity sky-YY look d[Am]ark and brown.

[VERSE 5]
[Am]I saw a gir[G]l… she could have been[F] my sister,
[Am] Except[G] her hair[F] was lo-OONG and in her face,
[G]She explained… this w[F]as a demonstraaa[Am]ation,
Ag[G]ainst the war… and [F]foooor the hum[Am]an ra-AAACE.

[VERSE 6]
Now I've se[Am]en a lot of st[G]range things in m[F]y travels,
[Am]Canniba[G]ls, y[F]es… and aliens galoooore,
[G]But I ne[F]ver thought I'[Am]d see so many peeeople
[G]Saying we don't w[F]ant yo[Am]ur + + + wAAA-aa-aar!

[CHORUS 2]
[G] The troops all had on uniforms
[F]Just like t[C]he one I'd worn,
But [G]they were all domes[F]tic… and myy-yy [C]duty chose waaar
[Em] They c[Am]arried guuUUN[F]S just like the ones across the sea,
Except [C]this tim[G]e I was the citizen
And the[F]y was pointin[Am]g their guns at meEEE,
Yes, I-I[C]II was jus[G]t a citizen
And [F]I was walking dow[Am]n the street,
And i[C]t was just [G]then that[F] the Re-adjustment Bluuuuuuuuuuuues
Got throu[Am]gh to mee[G]eeeee-eeeee[F] [Am]
