[Verse]
   Cmaj7                Am     Dm                   G 
In Nineteen Sixty Seven ■  the draft caught up with me
Dm           G                   C   Gsus4
■  Me and my pal Joe went off to war ■    
Cmaj7                Am7        Dm                    G7  
We might find hero's heaven but we'd keep the country free
Dm                  G7        C     
We would surely win just like before
C7 F                 G7               C                   Am 
■  Roy Rogers he was on his horse and Buck Jones drew his gun
Dm              G7            Dm                      G7   G
We would surely win of course when the battle was all done ■
C              Am    Dm          G7   
Nineteen Sixty Seven I came back alone
Dm                       G7             C    
They brought Joe back in plastic on the plane
Gsus4 C              Am7   Dm7           G7 
■     Nineteen Sixty Seven seems so long ago
Dm                    G7                Cmaj7 C7
But I can't forget my friend or ease my pain  ■ 
F              G              C            Am7       
His family may forget him his children may regret him
Dm7               G7             C 
His wife may find another and go on


[Chorus]
F               G7                 G                  Am   
His picture may grow faded and the world he knew gone jaded
Dm               F                       
But as long as I shall live I surely know
G                            C  
I never will forget my buddy Joe

[Verse]
                        Am     Dm                G
In Nineteen Sixty Seven ■  the war was raging on ■
Dm                          C     
Our country was divided and reborn
F C            Cmaj7        Dm                  Dm7   
■ Though I was back at home ■  I had never left Saigon
G Dm7                           C        
■ 'cause all I got was ridicule and scorn
C7 F                            G7       C                      
■  This was no place for hero's now they all seemed to resent me
Am7 Dm7      
■   They said
G Am Am7 G Dm7 G Cmaj7 C
■ ■  ■   ■ ■   ■ ■     ■
