Vietnam, Vietnam, _ [F] _ Vietnam, _ _ _ Vietnam, _ _ [C] _
Vietnam, _ _ Vietnam, [F] _ _
Vietnam.
_ _ _ [C] Yesterday I got _ a call from my friend [Cm] fighting [F] in Vietnam. _ _ _ _
_ _ [D] This _ is what he had [C] to say. _ _ _
Tell all of my friends _ that I'll be [F] coming home soon. _
_ _ _ _ [D] I _ told you _ [G] sometime [C] next _ June.
_ And don't forget _ [Cm] to tell my [F] sweet Mary.
_ _ _ _ _ [D] Her _ _ _ golden lips are [C]
sweet as cherry.
And _ I came from Vietnam, _ _ Vietnam, _ [F] _ Vietnam, _ _ _ Vietnam, _ [C] _ _ Vietnam, _ _ _ _ Vietnam, [F] Vietnam. _
_ [Cm] It was just the next day his [C] mother _ [F] got a telegram.
_ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
It was a address from [C] Vietnam.
_ _ _ _ _ Now Mistress Brown, _ _ she lives in the [F] USA.
_ _ _ _ And _ _ [D] _ _ this [Gm] is what the [C] telegram _ said. _ _
Don't be alone, _ she told me, you [F] _ telegram, Mary.
_ _ _ _ [D] _ _ But Mistress [C] Brown, your son is _ dead.
_ And I came from Vietnam, _ _ Vietnam, _ [F] _
Vietnam, _ _ _ Vietnam, _
_ [C] Vietnam, _ _ _ _ [F] Vietnam.
_ _ _ _ Somebody stop that war now. _ _ _ _ _

Reunion [F#m] _ is on [A] the emotion [E]
way.
_ _ _ _ _ _ [F#m]
I _ _ _ _ just can't [E]
believe it's so.
_ _ Lord [F#m] seems strange to say.
_ I've [E] never been laid so low.
_ _ Such a [F#m]
serious way.

and over again.

_ [D] But [E] I would not give [A]
false hope on [D] this [E] strange and [A] wonderful day.

[F#m] Reunion is on [A] the emotion [E]
way.
