[Intro]
| D   Em  | G   D  | D   Em  | G   D

[Verse]
        D                       Em                 G                         D
Did you really believe when the war would end, the wounds would heal and the gaps would mend
D                    Em                   G             D          D   Em   G   D
Once the troops were home and the bombers gone, we'd be moving on
      D                 Em                 G                  D
To re-pair a body to re-vive your soul, to right all wrong in pursuit of that goal
        D                       Em                G                    D
Did you really believe we could say farewell to a land embraced by the clutch of hell

[Chorus]
     C        G        F                     G             C
Good-bye Viet-nam, the battle's over but the wounds linger on
     C               G                    F                         G      C
Good-bye to all your hungering poor, your black marketeers and your Saigon whores
     C        G        F               G          C
Good-bye Viet-nam, our fallen sons are buried and gone
     C                G                   F                 G            C       D   Em   G   D
Good-bye to all those tears of shame, our broken dreams are dead and are maimed

[Verse]
        D                      Em                     G                    D
When we looked around did we assess the scene, we saw plastic princes, our troubled queens
          D                   Em                  G           D             D   Em   G   D
Though we spoke of peace with honour and a better way, he had feet of clay
         D                  Em                G                    D
He has a fiberglass mind, a styrofoam soul, a plexiglass heart all blacker than coal
   D                        Em                        G               D
By twisting ideals of those anxious years, he built a man made on the rock of fear

[Chorus]
     C        G        F                     G             C
Good-bye Viet-nam, the battle's over but the wounds linger on
     C               G                    F                         G      C
Good-bye to all your hungering poor, your black marketeers and your Saigon whores
     C        G         F                     G       C
Good-bye Viet-nam, your kids are stained the american soul
     C                G          F                          G      C    D   Em   G   D
Good-bye to dreams of yesterday, see the news and watch our self decay

[Verse]
        D                   Em                          G                           D
Did you really believe that all would be well, when the gate of quarter drowned the gate of hell
    D                        Em                    G                     D              D   Em   G   D
The screeching hawks and the cooing doves, were submerged by the song of chirping bugs
       D                   Em                   G                      D
Do you really know, do you really see, what the plastic prince wants a man to be
      D                       Em               G                        D
To be staunch on order, to be tough on law, to stamp on dissention with tooth and claw
      D                 Em                   G                 D
To be hard of heart and tough of mind, to be loyally sound and morally blind

[Chorus]
     C        G        F                     G             C
Good-bye Viet-nam, the battle's over but the wounds linger on
     C               G                    F                         G      C      D  Em  G  D  D  Em  G  D
Good-bye to all your hungering poor, your black marketeers and your Saigon whores

[Verse]
     D                     Em              G                     D
Fare-well to the spirit of seventy six, to freedom fighting mave-ricks
     D                     Em               G                     D              D   Em   G   D
Fare-well to the spirit of sixty eight, for Bobby and Martin have met their fate
     D              Em                    G            D
Fare-well Peace and Freedom Corps and hel-lo spirit of Eighty Four

[Outro]
     C        G        F                     G             C
Good-bye Viet-nam, the battle's over but the wounds linger on
     C               G                    F                         G      C
Good-bye to all your hungering poor, your black marketeers and your Saigon whores
     C        G        F               G          C
Good-bye Viet-nam, our fallen sons are buried and gone
     C                G                   F                 G            C
Good-bye to all those tears of shame, our broken dreams are dead and are maimed
     C        G         F                     G       C
Good-bye Viet-nam, your kids are stained the american soul
     C                G          F                          G      C
Good-bye to dreams of yesterday, see the news and watch our self decay
     C        G      F    G  C    G    F    G  C
Good-bye Viet-nam
