[Verse 1]
[C]January 1970, do you re[G]member me
You [F]put me on a boat across the sea,
in the [G]name of victory
[C]But much to my surprised when I arrived,
there was no [G]welcoming committee
In[F]stead there was a man for me to kill,
and now [G]I see how this is all [F]too [G]real[C]
Then [G]I saw

[Verse 2]
[F]him[C] standing
[G]with a [Gsus4]bay onet[G][F]
And as I ran towards him he hardly
[Gsus4]broke a s[G]weat[C]
When [F]I took h[C]is l[F]ife h[C]e f[G]ell to his k[F]nees
And as his eyes began to [G]fade he
whispered [C]softly[G]

[Verse 3]
[C]Godspeed this letter, [G]away from here
I've [F]sealed it with my tears,
and [G]stamped it [F]with my [G]fists
And [C]godspeed [G]this [C]letter,
[G]away from [Gsus4]you
[G]My wor[F]k down here is through
I'm [G]on my way to better days
And [C]so are you

[Interlude 1]
[F][G][Gsus4][G][C][F][G]

[Verse 4]
I'm [C]in his pocket that I saw the picture
of his children and his [G]family
And [F]I began to realize this person I despised,
in [G]actuality
Was [C]not much different from myself
We probably could have taught
each other [G]many things
And [F]now I know its much too late
although I couldn't hesitate
I [G]checked his gun,
and his chamber was [C]empty
Then [F]I saw

[Verse 5]
him stand
[C]ing [G]with a [F]bayonet
And as I ran towards him he
[G]hardly broke [C]a sweat
When [F]I took h[C]is l[F]ife h[C]e f[G]ell to his k[F]nees
And as his eyes began to [G]fade he
whispered [C]softly[G]

[Verse 6]
[C]Godspeed this letter, [G]away from here
I've [F]sealed it with my tears,
and [G]stamped it with my fists
And [C]godspeed [G]this [C]letter, [G]away from you
My [F]work down here is through
I'm [G]on my way to better days
And [Bb]so a[F]re you

[Verse 7]
We know not what [C]we've [G]done
And
[Bb]We know [F]not what
[C]we've done
[G]

[Verse 8]
[C]Godspeed [G]this [C]letter, [G]away from here
I've [F]sealed it with my tears,
and [G]stamped it with my fists
And [C]godspeed [G]this [F]let[C]ter, [G]away from you
My [F]work down here is through
I'm [G]on my way to better days
And [C]so are you
