John Denver - Readjustment blues

^AmJust out of the ^Ginfantry this ^Fmorning, ^AmI had to pay my ^Gdues across the ^Fsea, But ^Gno one back in ^Fboot camp ever w^Amarned me, What the r^Geadjustmen^Ft blues would^Am do to me.

^Am"Welcome to^G Havanna^Fh", said the pilot, ^Am"We must have ma^Gde a wroo^Foong turn on the way." ^G"Let's bu^Fy some ciga^Amrs and keep it quiiiet, If ^Gthey don^F't know^Am we're here we'll get away."

^AmJust as I h^Gad realize^Fd he was joking, ^AmI saw we^G were in ^FWashington D.C., 'Cause ^Gthere w^Fas all the^Am patriotic buiiiiildings. ^GJust like I had s^Feen them o^Amn T.V.

^GIt must have been a holiday, ^F'cause t^Chere was this parade. ^GPeople carried signs I^F couldn't^C read that they had made. ^Em 'Till I got c^Amloser and my h^Feart fell to my socks; ^C There was^G a battle raging and the air was ^FFilled with teargas and rocks.

^AmThere was the^G flag I'd^F fought against so often, The ^Amone I fought for ^Ghanging upsiiii^Fde down, The ^Gwind was blowing ha-^FAARD, the d^Amirt was flying, It ^Gmade the c^Fity sky-YY look d^Amark and brown.

^AmI saw a gir^Gl… she could have been^F my sister, ^Am Except^G her hair^F was lo-OONG and in her face, ^GShe explained… this w^Fas a demonstraaa^Amation, Ag^Gainst the war… and ^Ffoooor the hum^Aman ra-AAACE.

Now I've se^Amen a lot of st^Grange things in m^Fy travels, ^AmCanniba^Gls, y^Fes… and aliens galoooore, ^GBut I ne^Fver thought I'^Amd see so many peeeople ^GSaying we don't w^Fant yo^Amur + + + wAAA-aa-aar!

^G The troops all had on uniforms ^FJust like t^Che one I'd worn, But ^Gthey were all domes^Ftic… and myy-yy ^Cduty chose waaar ^Em They c^Amarried guuUUN^FS just like the ones across the sea, Except ^Cthis tim^Ge I was the citizen And the^Fy was pointin^Amg their guns at meEEE, Yes, I-I^CII was jus^Gt a citizen And ^FI was walking dow^Amn the street, And i^Ct was just ^Gthen that^F the Re-adjustment Bluuuuuuuuuuuues Got throu^Amgh to mee^Geeeee-eeeee^{F Am}
