Verse-
C G
Its January 1970, do you remember me

You put me on a boat across the sea, in the name of victory

But much to my surprised when I arrived, there was no welcoming committee
F G
Instead there was a man for me to kill, and now I see all this too real
Refrain-
C G
Then I saw him standing with a bayonet
C G
and as I ran towards him he hardly broke a sweat
C G
When I took his life he fell to his knees
C G
And as his eyes began to fade he whispered softly
Chorus-
C G
Godspeed this letter, away from here
F G
I've sealed it with my tears, and stamped it with my fists
C G
And godspeed this letter, away from you
F
My work down here is through
G
I'm on my way to better days
C G C G
And so are you
Do Verse-
C G
I'm in his pocket that I saw the picture of his children and his family
F G
And I began to realize this person I despised, in actuality

Was not much different from myself
C G
we porbably could have taught each other many things
F F
And now I know its much too late although I couldn't hesistate
G
I checked his gun, and his chamber was empty
