	Let me tell you the	story of a	soldier named	Dan.

	E7	A	E
Went out to	fight the	good fight in	South Vietnam.

	E7	A	E
Went out to	fight for peace,	liberty and	all.

	E7	A	F#m		E
Went out to	fight for	equality,			hope let's go!

Found himself involved in a sea of blood and bones.

Millions without faces - without hope and without homes.

And the guns they grew louder as they made dust out of bones.

That the flesh had long since left just as the people - left their homes.

They're just there to make the people free.

But the way that they're doing it, it don't seem like that to me.

Just more blood letting, and misery, and tears;

That this poor country's known for the last twenty years.

Last night young Dan had a nightmare it seems.

One that kept occurring and reoccurring in his dreams.

Millions of people running screaming and shouting loud;

And right overhead was a big mushroom cloud.
