Intro:

G A D A G A D A D


Verse 1:

   G             A            D                         
A letter came today from my draftboard

       D                               A                
With tremblin hands I read the questionaire

   G               A                 D       
It asked alot of questions 'bout my mama and my papa

     A                          D                       
That ain't exactly what I call fair



Chorus:

        G              A               D                 
So I'm headed for the nearest foreign border

    D                               A                  
Vancouver might be just my kind of town

        G                 A               D              
Cause they ain't got the kind of law and order

      A                              D                  
That tends to keep a good man underground


Bridge:

G A D D A G A D A D  (same as chorus)



Verse 2:

   G              A                D                    
A sad old soldier once told me a story

                                A                      
About a battlefield that he was on

    G                 A                 D               
He said a man should never fight for glory

    A                                       D           
I guess he knows what's right and what is wrong


CHORUS

BRIDGE


Verse 3:

      G                 A            D                   
Ya'll I don't know how much I owe my uncle

                                    A                  
I expect that it's more than I can pay

     G             A                 D                  
He's askin' me to sign a three year contract

    A                                D                  
I guess I'll catch the next bus out today


CHORUS (2X)
