[Verse 1]
[D]I don't know why I left
(I don't know why I [G]left)
But [D]I know it won't [Bm]be long
[D](But I know it won't be [G]long)
[Bm]No, it won't be [A]long
[D](No, it won't be long)
Til I get [G]back [Bm]home[D]
[G][D]

[Verse 2]
[G]
They [D]gave me a green uniform
And black [A]boots for my [D]feet[G]
[D]18 and wild as hell
I [Bm]thought it would be [G]neat
They put me on a plane
To some [D]strange foreign [G]land
I [D]said goodbye to Mom and Dad
And hel[A]lo to Uncle [G]Sam[D]

[Verse 3]
[G][Chorus]
Once I was a soldier
Not afraid to die
But [D]now I'm a little older
And not afraid to cry
[G]Every day I'm thankful
Just to be [A]alive
When [Bm]you've been where I've been
[D]Any kind of [G]life
[A]Is paradise[D][G]

[Verse 4]
[D]Christmas of '89
Was a [A]lonely time for [D]me
[G]Panama was[D] prob'ly fine
But it was [Bm]nothin' like [G]Tennessee
Never thought the day
would come
When I might [D]have to kill [G]a man
I [D]did not sleep a wink that night
But we [A]won for Uncle Sam

[Interlude 1]

If [Bm]you've been where I've
[D]been[G][A][G][D]

[A]Is paradise[Bm][D][G][A]
It's paradis[D]e[G]
[D]Paradise
