Charlie Daniels - Still in Saigon guitar chord

Still In Saigon

By Charlie Daniels Band

I had a hard time getting this 100% but let me know

what you think…..Larry

Capo 1

Bm

Got on a plane in 'Frisco

G

And got off in Vietnam

Bm

I walked into a different world

G

The past forever gone

Em F#m

I could have gone to Canada

Bm

Or I could have stayed in school

Em F#m

But I was brought up differently

A

I couldn't break the rules

Thirteen months and fifteen days

The last ones were the worst

One minute I'd kneel down and pray

And the next I'd stand and curse

No place to run to

Where I did not feel that war

When I got home I stayed alone

And checked behind each door

Chorus:

Bm

Cuz I'm still in Saigon

G

Still in Saigon

Bm

I am still in Saigon

G F#m Em

In my mi-i-i—i-nd

The ground at home was covered in snow

And I was covered in sweat

My younger brother calls me a killer

And my daddy calls me a vet

Everybody says I'm someone else

And I'm sick and there's no cure

Damned if I know who I am

There was only one place I was sure

When i was: Chorus

Bridge:

Em Bm

Every summer when it rains

Em Bm

I smell the jungle, I hear the planes

Em Bm

I can't tell no one, I feel ashamed

F#m Bm

Afraid some day I'll go insane

That's been ten long years ago

And time has gone on by

Now and then I catch myself

Eyes searching through the sky

All the sounds of long ago

Will be forever in my head

Mingled with the wounded cries

And the silence of the dead

'Cuz I'm Chorus

I am still in Saigon

I am still in Saigon

Yes, I'm still in Saigon

In my mind
