My Vietnam

        Am           Dm              Am
My Vietnam, I have known you for so long.
F                Dm     Dm/B           E
Lately I’ve become aware of all your sorrow.
Dm                       Am            C             Dm
People are hungry and afraid, while hundred miles away,
Dm/B                  E              Am
their leaders pig on pork chops and champagne.


[Verse]
Am                    F               C
My Vietnam, there is rust upon your star,
F                      Am               Dm
and your wealth is with those who are in power.
G                     Em
They have betrayed your mountains and your rivers.
G                      Em
They have all failed you and sold your land away.


[Chorus]
               Am           C
Where are you now, my Vietnam?
               Dm            Bb
Where are your daughters and sons?
              Em            G              C            E7
You must wake up and raise your voice as one.
              Dm              Bb               Am               C
And though we deal but little strokes, in time we will fell great oaks.
              Dm            Em
Who’s with me now? Ask “Where where is my, where’s my Vietnam?”


[Verse]
        Am           Dm          Am
My Vietnam, how many young and brave
F                 Dm         Dm/B                  E
must sleep beneath the waves, must fall before the cannons?
Dm                       Am            C             Dm
On Paracel and Spratly’s bloody shores our name will stand or fall,
Dm/B                  E              Am
a thousand years of darkness still remain.


[Verse]
Am                    F               C
Our own have invited China in,
F                      Am               Dm
they are cowards and lackeys of Beijing.
G                     Em
Where are the heirs to your mountains and your rivers?
G                     Em
They will be here when they hear your call to arms!



[Chorus]
               Am           C
So where are you now, my Vietnam?
               Dm            Bb
Where are your daughters and sons?
              Em            G              C            E7
You must wake up and raise your voice as one.
              Dm              Bb               Am               C
And though we deal but little strokes, in time we will fell great oaks.
              Dm            Em
Hold your fist high, together we’ll fight for a new Vietnam.
