Capo 4th fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Kiss me goodbye and write me while I'm gone

Good- bye, my sweetheart, Hello Viet- nam.

America has heard the bugle call

And you know it involves us, one an all

I don't suppose that war will ever end

There's fighting that will break us up a- gain.

Chorus

Good- bye, my darling, Hello Viet- nam

A hill to take, a battle to be won

Kiss me goodbye and write me while I'm gone

Good- bye, my sweetheart, Hello Viet- nam.

A ship is waiting for us at the dock

America has trouble to be stopped

We must stop Communism in that land

Or freedom will start sliping thru our hands.

NARRATION: (Chorus sung in background)

I hope and pray someday the world will learn

That fires we don't put out, will bigger burn

We must save freedom now, at any cost

Or someday, our own freedom will be lost.

TAG:

Kiss me goodbye and write me while I'm gone

Good- bye, my sweetheart, Hello Viet- nam.
