We'll leave it there. Thank _ [D] you. _

_ [A] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ [F] _
_ [G] _ _ [Bb] _ _ [D] _ _ [C] _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ All weapons [F] jammed and I got [G] stuck for young [Bb] all alone
[D] I knew [Cm] he'd end up [G] eating the dishes [D] outside
_ [F] Just then I [C] heard a click and [G] I panicked, grabbed [Dm] my empty gun
[F] And I took it and [Am] stared while I counted [D] down my feet
_ [F] And Betty [C] lived for weeks, [G] I think, with a pair of friendly [F] eyes
Fearing their [Am] impossible [D] forensic ways
_ Betty came in [F] close to the side, [G] stood up for her [Bb] son of a hater
[D] And if Charlie wasn't [C] handled, how he'll have [D] two to die?
_ I said, well, [F] thanks a lot, I'm [G] full of my fame
And [Bb] after his, [Dm] he said, the [G] boys just call me [D] Camel Fly
_ Whoa, [Dm] _ [F] _
[G] whoa, whoa, [Gm] Camel Fly
[Dm] Things are [C] never quite the way [D] they seem
_ Whoa, [Dm] _ [C] _
[G] whoa, whoa, [Bb] Camel [Dm] Fly
This [C] was an awfully [G] big parade
[D] _ [G] Well, we [Dm] fought all [F] night, side by [G] side, we took our [Bb] battle stance
And I [D] wondered [C] how the bullets [D] missed this man
_ The next [G] week we'd go [F] right through him, [G] just as if he wasn't [Bb] there
[Dm] And he's a man, [C] so [G] the [D] chains were on
_ [G] [F] And it was near the [C]
riverbed [G] when the ambush [D] came on top of [F] us
And I thought it [Am] was the end of [D] the frat
_ [F] Then a bullet [C] whipped my leg on [G] and came buzzing [D] through a bush
[F] That big parade, [Am] he just swat it [G] with his hand
_ _ [Bb] Just like I was a [G] fly
[A] _ _ _ [D] _ _ [F]
Whoa, [G] whoa, whoa, [Bb] Camel Fly
[Dm] Things are [C] never quite the way [D] they seem
_ _ [Dm] [F] Whoa, [G] whoa, whoa, [Bb] Camel Fly
[D] This [C] was an awful [Dm] mistake
_ _ _ [F] _ _ [G] _
_ [Gm] _ [D] _ _ _ [F] _ [C] _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ [F] I knew there was something [C] weird about it
[Gm] I turned [D] around and he was making a big palm for [F] me right up out of the [Am] ground
And he [G] swat those charlies with [Bb] it from the little, uh, [A] tongue
In _ [D] _ _ [Fm]
danger I [G] saw my cam man [Bb] wave goodbye
[D] He just [G] whipped his head from the jungle [Dm] as a dog
_ When I got back to [F] my HQ, [G] I told him about [Bb] my night
[Dm] And the battle I'd [C] camped with the pig folks, [D] and Camel Fly was in it
[F] But I said, hey, [C] the soldier [Gm] told them the medic took [D] my arm
[F] And he led me to [Am] a dream camp [D] on the run
_ [F] Since the main thing's not [C] true, boy, [Gm] but this here is Camel [Dm] Fly
[F] And he's been right here [Am] since you passed away [G] last night
_ _ [Bb] He's always been [Bm] always [A] alone
And [Dm] before he went, [F] he said, send her by [G] and said his only [Bb] wish
[D] Was to save a young [C] marine caught in [Dm] a barrage
_ So here came his dog, Dad [F] and Son, [G] and we want you to have [Bb] him now
[Dm] And we all said a prayer [Cm] for a big marine [D] named Camel Fly
_ Whoa, [F] _
whoa, [G] whoa, [Bb] Camel [D] Fly
Dreams are never [C] quite the way [D] they seem
_ _ [F] Whoa, whoa, [G] whoa, [Bb] Camel Fly
[D] This [C] was an awful big [D] marine
_ _ _ [Dm] Whoa, [F]
whoa, [G] whoa, [Bb] Camel [D] Fly
Dreams are never [C] quite the way [D] they seem
_ _ _ [F] Whoa, whoa, [G] whoa, [Bb] Camel Fly
[Dm] This was [C] an awful big [D] marine
Whoa, [C] whoa, whoa, [D] Camel Fly
_ [C] _
[Dm] Dreams [C] are [Dm] never [C] quite the way they seem
[Dm] Whoa, whoa, [C] whoa, [D] Camel [C] Fly
_ [D] Dreams [C] are [D] never quite the way [C] they seem
_ [Dm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
