Just out [G] of the infantry [C] this morning, [F]
I [Am] had to pay [G] my dues across [F] the sea.
[G] No one back in [F] boot camp ever [Am]
warned me, [G] what the [F] readjustment blues would do to [Am] me.
Welcome to [G] Havana, [F] said the pilot, [Am] we must have made a [G] wrong turn on [F] the way.
[G] Let's buy some cigars and [Am] keep it quiet.
[G] If they don't [F] know we're here, we'll get [Am] away.

[G] It must have been a holiday, [Em] cause there was this parade.
[G] People carried signs I couldn't [Em] read, that they had [C]
made.
[Em] Till I got [Am] closer and [F] my heart fell to my [C] socks.
There was a [G] battle raging and the [F] air was filled with tear gas and rocks.
[Am] And there was the [G] flag I'd fought against [F] so often.
[Am] No one I fought [G] for hanging [F] upside down.
The [G] wind was blowing [F] hard, the dirt [Am] was plowing.
[Am] [G] It made the [F] city sky look [Am] dark and brown.
I saw a [G] girl, she could have [F] been my sister,
[A] except her [G] hair was long [F] and in her face.
[G] She explained this was a [Am] demonstration [G] against the war for [Am] the human race.
I've seen [G] a lot of strange [F] things in my travel.
[Am] [G] Cannibals, yes, and [F] aliens galore.
[G] But I never [F] thought I'd see so [Am] many people.
[G] Saying we [F] don't want your [Am] war.
[G] The troops all had on uniforms, just [C] like the one I'd worn.
[G] But they were all domestic and [F] my duty too was [C] sworn.
[Em] They carried [F] guns, just like the ones who crossed the sea.
[C] Except this time I was [G] the citizen and they were [F] pointing their [Am] guns at [C] me.
Yes, I was just a citizen [F] and I was walking down the street.
[C] And it was just then that the [G] [F] readjustment blues got through [A] to me.
