[E] [A]
[D]
[G] Well, I'm just a typical American boy [E] from a typical [A] American town.
[D] I believe in God and [Am] Senator Dodd and keepin' old Castro [G] down.
But when it came my time to [A] serve, I knew better dead than red.
So I went down to Muldrath Board and this [G] is what I said.
Sarge, I'm only 18, I got a ruptured [A] spleen and I always carry a purse.
I got eyes like a bat and my [Am] feet are flat and my [G] asthma's gettin' worse.
Consider my career, my sweetheart dear, [A] and my poor old epileptic.
And, you know, [Am] I ain't no fool.
I'm goin' to school, workin' at a defense [G] plant.
I got a dislocated disc and a racked up [A] back and I'm allergic to flowers and bugs.
And if a bombshell hits, I get [D] epileptic fits and I'm addicted to a thousand drugs.
I got the weakness, woes, can't touch my [A] toes, can't hardly reach my knees.
And if [D] the enemy ever gets close to me, I think I'll start to [G] sneeze.
Cause I'm only 18, I got a ruptured spleen and [A] I always carry a purse.
I [A] got eyes like a bat and my feet are flat and my asthma's gettin' [G] worse.
Consider my career, my sweetheart dear, [A] and my poor old epileptic.
And, you know, I ain't no fool.
I'm goin' to school, workin' at a defense [G] plant.
I hate showin' lie and I hope he [A] dies.
There's one thing you gotta see.
It's almost gotta go [Am] over there that someone isn't [G] me.
So I wish you well, sorry to give him [A] hell and kill me a thousand or so.
And if you ever get a war without blood and gore, well, I'll be the [G] first to go.
Cause I'm only 18, I got a ruptured [A] spleen and I always carry a purse.
I got eyes like a bat and my [Am] feet are flat and my asthma's gettin' [G] worse.
Consider my career, my sweetheart dear, [A] and my poor old epileptic.
And, you know, I ain't no fool.
I'm goin' to school, [D] workin' at a [G] defense plant.
