[F]Daddy he got drafted by the [Am]will of Uncle Sam
[F]By the hand of God and the Vietcong he d[Am]ied in Vietnam
[F]Mother couldn't raise three kids but [Am]she could raise her hand
[F]Every night my brother's and my[C] sister's hides go[B7]t tanned

He got married in Frisco and got murdered in Alabam'
