Intro - Dm - Am - Dm - C


Dm
A vacation in the foreign land

Uncle Sam does the best he can
              Gm
You're in the army now
                     Dm
Oh, oh you're in the army - now



Dm                       
Now you remember what the draft man said

Nothing to do all day but stay in bed
              Gm
You're in the army now
                     Dm          (Bass fill)
Oh, oh you're in the army - now



Dm                       
You'll be a hero of the neighbourhood

Nobody knows that you left for good
              Gm   
You're in the army now
Am                   Dm
Oh, oh you're in the army - now



Dm                                (Fill 1)
Smiling faces on the way to 'Nam

But once you get there no one gives a damn
              Gm
You're in the army now
Am                   Dm
Oh, oh you're in the army - now



Break - Dm - Am - Dm - C



Dm                                   (drums breaks)
Hand grenades flying over your head


Em
The sun's flying over your head

If you wanna survive you're out of bet
              Am
You're in the army now
Hm                   Em
Oh, oh you're in the army - now



Em                                        
Shots ring out in the dead of night
           
The sergeant calls : "Stand up and fight!"
              Am 
You're in the army now
Hm                   Em
Oh, oh you're in the army - now



Em                       
You've got your orders to shoot on sight

your finger's on the trigger but it don't seem right
              Am
You're in the army now
Hm                  Em
Oh, oh you're in the army - now

Em                        
Night is falling and you just can't see
                    
Is this illusion or reality
              Am
You're in the army now
Hm                   Em
Oh, oh you're in the army - now


              Am
You're in the army now           \
Hm                   Em           } - playing N times with fill 2
Oh, oh you're in the army - now  /
