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

Chorus:

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:

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

G A D

Ya'll I don't know how much I owe my uncle

He's askin' me to sign a three year contract

I guess I'll catch the next bus out today
