[Verse 1]
I was [Am]a P.F.C. on a search patrol, huntin' Charlie down
It was the [Bb]jungle [Am]wars of '65
My weapon jammed and I got
stuck way out and all alone
And I could hear the enemy
movin' in close outside
Just then I heard a twig snap
and I grabbed my empty gun
And I dug in scared while I
counted down my fate
And then a big marine,
with a pair of friendly eyes
Appeared there [Bb]at my s[Am]houlder
and said "Wait."

[Verse 2]
[Am]If Charlie wants to tangle now,
he'll have two to dodge"
I said, "Well, thanks a lot!" I told
him my name and asked him his
And [Dm]he said "The boys just call me[Am]
Camou[C]flage"
[F][G5][G]

[Verse 3]
[Am]
[C]Woah- [D5]oh- [C]oh- oh, Camouflage[Am]
[F]Things are never [G]quite the way
they [Am]seem[C][Am]
[C]Woah- [D5]oh- oh- oh, [C]Camouf[G]lage
I was [D5]awfully [Dm]glad to [Em]see
this big Mar[Am]ine

[Verse 4]
Well, we [Am]fought all night, side by side,
we took our battle stance
And I wondered how the [Bb]bullets
[Am]missed this man
'Cause they seemed to go right through
him just as if he wasn't there
And in the mornin' we both
took a chance and ran
And it was near the riverbank
when the ambush came
And I thought it was the end,
and we were had
Then a bullet with my name on
it came buzzin' through a bush
And that [Bb]big Mar[Am]ine,
he just swat it with his hand
[D5]Just like [Dm]it was a fly...
[Am][C][F][G]

[Verse 5]
[Am]
[C]Woah- [D5]oh- [C]oh- oh, Camouflage[Am]
[F]Things are never [G]quite the
way they [Am]seem[C][Am]
[C]Woah- [D5]oh- oh- oh, [C]Camou[G]flage
I was [D5]awfully glad to [Em]see
this big mar[Am]ine

[Verse 6]
When he [Am]led me outta danger I saw
my camp and waved goodbye
He just winked at [Bb]me from the
[Am]jungle and then was gone
When I got back to my H.Q.,
I told 'em about my night
And the battle I'd spent with a big
Marine named Camouflage
When I said his name, the soldier gulped,
and a medic took my arm
And led me [Bb]to a gr[Am]een tent on the right
He said "You may be tellin' the true, boy,
but this here is Camouflage
And he's been right [Bb]here since
he [Am]passed away last night
But before he went, he said Semper Fi,
and said his only wish
Was to save a young Marine
caught in a barrage
So here, [D5]take his dog tag, [Dm]son,
[Am]I know he'd want you [C]to have it now"
[F][G5]
