Intro: 
 
G A D A G A D A D 
 
 
Verse 1: 
 
   G             A            D                          
A letter came today from my draftboard 
 
       D                               A                 
With tremblin hands I read the questionaire 
 
   G               A                 D        
It asked alot of questions 'bout my mama and my papa 
 
     A                          D                        
That ain't exactly what I call fair 

 
        G              A               D                  
So I'm headed for the nearest foreign border 
 
    D                               A                   
Vancouver might be just my kind of town 
 
        G                 A               D               
Cause they ain't got the kind of law and order 
 
      A                              D                   
That tends to keep a good man underground
 
 
 
Bridge: 
 
G A D D A G A D A D  (same as chorus) 
 
 
 
Verse 2: 
 
   G              A                D                     
A sad old soldier once told me a story 
 
                                A                       
About a battlefield that he was on 
 
    G                 A                 D                
He said a man should never fight for glory 
 
    A                                       D            
I guess he knows what's right and what is wrong 
 
 
CHORUS 
 
BRIDGE

      G                 A            D                    
Ya'll I don't know how much I owe my uncle 
 
                                    A                   
I expect that it's more than I can pay 
 
     G             A                 D                   
He's askin' me to sign a three year contract 
 
    A                                D                   
I guess I'll catch the next bus out today
