I Feel Like I'm Fixing to Die Rag

"Country" Joe McDonald (1968)

D7
Well Come on all you big strong men
G
Uncle sam needs your help again
D7
Hes got himself in a fuck of a jam
G G7
Way down yonder in South Vietnam
C Cmin G
So put down your books and pick up your guns
E A7 D7
'cause were gonna have a whole lot of fun
D7 A7 D7 G
And it's one two three what are we fighting for?
D7 G
Don't ask me I don't give a damn; next stop is vietnam!
D7 A7 D7 G G7
And it's five six seven open up the pearly gates.
C Cmin G E
Well there ain't no time to wonder why
A7 D7 G
Whoopee! We're all gonna die.
 
Come on Wall Street, don't be slow, 
Why man, this is war au-go-go 
There's plenty good money to be made 
By supplying the Army with the tools of its trade, 
But just hope and pray that if they drop the bomb, 
They drop it on the Viet Cong. 
And it's one, two, three.. 
Well, come on generals, let's move fast; 
Your big chance has come at last. 
Now you can go out and get those reds 
'Cause the only good commie is the one that's dead 
And you know that peace can only be won 
When we've blown 'em all to kingdom come. 
And it's one, two, three.. 
Come on mothers throughout the land, 
Pack your boys off to Vietnam. 
Come on fathers, and don't hesitate 
To send your sons off before it's too late. 
And you can be the first ones in your block 
To have your boy come home in a box. 
And it's one, two, three..
