[Verse 1]
While we're sittin' home in our [D]places
Stuffin' goodies in our [G]faces
[D]Bitchin' 'bout the televi[G]sion
news and the [D]price of gasoline
[F]There's a man[D] who was
your neighbor
Somewhere in Southeast Asia
[G]Liv[D]ing in a bamboo cage
And [G]wondering what [D]happened
to the [C]U.S.A.
He's a [D]citizen of the free world
He's an American mother's [G]son
[C]He's a liv[D]ing contradiction,
he's a shame to everyone
[F]He ain't got[D] no Constitution,
and his Bill of Rights are gone
[G]The war[D]'s been over for ten years now
And he still ain't made [C]it home
[G]Still ain't made [D]it home
If right is [G]right and fair is [D]fair
Tell me how, how [G]can we leave him [D]there?
If right is [G]right and fair is [D]fair
Tell me how,
how [G]can we leave him [D]there?[G][F][D]
Mister Politician,
why can't you stop and listen
[G]To the dis[D]enchanted voices blowing
in on freedom's [F]wind
You [D]put this mighty nation
in a no- win situation
[G]You sol[D]d out to the Devil,
and the price was our young men
[C]If it's tro[D]uble that we're fearing[G]
I'm the [D]first one volunteering
[Dm]
[D]And I don't think nobody here
would hesitate to go to war
[F]But in [D]the cause of Freedom
They're gonna be there
when we need 'em
But if we can't bring 'em back
Then let's don't send
'em off no [C]more
Don't [G]send 'em off no [D]more
If right is [G]right and fair is [D]fair
Tell me how, how [G]can we leave him [D]there?
If right is [G]right and fair is [D]fair
Tell me how, how [G]can we leave him
[D]there?[G][D]
[F][D][F][D]
[C][G][D]
If right is [G]right and fair is [D]fair
Tell me how, how [G]can we leave him [D]there?
If right is [G]right and fair is [D]fair
Tell me how,
how [G]can we leave him [D]there?[G]
