Verse

Its JCanuary 1970, do you reGmember me

You pFut me on a boat across the sea, in the Gname of victory

But Cmuch to my surprised when I arrived, there was no Gwelcoming committee

InFstead there was a man for me to kill, and now I sGee all this too real

Refrain

CThen I saw him standing wGith a bayonet

Cand as I ran towards him he Ghardly broke a sweat

WChen I took his life he feGll to his knees

ACnd as his eyes began to fGade he whispered softly

Chorus

CGodspeed this letter, aGway from here

I've Fsealed it with my tears, andG stamped it with my fists

And Cgodspeed this letter, aGway from you

My wFork down here is through

GI'm on my way to better days

And sCo are you G C G

Do Verse-

CI'm in his pocket that I saw the picture of his children and his Gfamily

And FI began to realize this person I despised, in Gactuality

And Fnow I know its much too late alFthough I couldn't hesistate

IG checked his gun, and his chamber was empty

Then I saw him standing with a bayonet

and as I ran towards him he hardly broke a sweat

And as his eyes began to fade he whispered softly

I've Fsealed it with my tears, andG stamped it with my fists

And Cgodspeed this letter, Gaway from you

FMy work down here is through

GI'm on my way to better days

And so are you
