Аккорды к песне ​Paxton Tom — Lyndon Johnson Told The Nation

[Verse 1] 
Am 
I got a letter from L.b.J  
  Dm 
It said, "This is your lucky day"  
    Am                 E7            Am    E7 
It's time to put your khaki trousers on 
Am 
Though it may seem very queer  
     Dm 
We've got no jobs to give you here  
  Am              E7          Am 
So we are sending you to Vietnam  
  
   [Chorus] 
          F              C 
     And Lyndon Johnson told the nation  
     Dm                Am 
     Have no fear of escalation  
                  E7           Am 
     I am trying everyone to please  
    F                 C 
     Though it isn't really war  
     Dm                  Am 
     We're sending fifty thousand more 
              E7                 Am    E7 
     To help save Vietnam from Vietnamese  
  
  
[Verse 2] 
Am 
I jumped off the old troop ship  
  Dm 
And sank in mud up to my hips  
    Am                 E7            Am    E7 
I cussed until the captain called me down  
Am 
Never mind how hard it's raining  
     Dm 
Think of all the ground we're gaining  
  Am              E7          Am 
Just don't take one step outside of town  
  
   [Chorus] 
          F              C 
     And Lyndon Johnson told the nation  
     Dm                Am 
     Have no fear of escalation  
                  E7           Am 
     I am trying everyone to please  
    F                 C 
     Though it isn't really war  
     Dm                  Am 
     We're sending sixty thousand more 
              E7                 Am    E7 
     To help save Vietnam from Vietnamese  
  
[Verse 3] 
Am 
Every night the local gentry  
  Dm 
Slip out past the sleeping sentry  
    Am                 E7       Am E7 
They go to join the old V.C.  
Am 
In their nightly little dramas  
     Dm 
They put on their black pajamas  
  Am              E7          Am 
And come lobbing mortar shells at me  
  
   [Chorus] 
          F              C 
     And Lyndon Johnson told the nation  
     Dm                Am 
     Have no fear of escalation  
                  E7           Am 
     I am trying everyone to please  
    F                 C 
     Though it isn't really war  
     Dm                    Am 
     We're sending seventy thousand more 
              E7                 Am    E7 
     To help save Vietnam from Vietnamese  
  
[Verse 4] 
Am 
We go round in helicopters  
  Dm 
Like a bunch of big grasshoppers  
    Am                 E7            Am  E7 
Searching for the Viet Cong in vain  
Am 
They left a note that they had gone  
     Dm 
They had to get down to Saigon  
  Am              E7          Am 
Their government positions to maintain  
  
   [Chorus] 
          F              C 
     And Lyndon Johnson told the nation  
     Dm                Am 
     Have no fear of escalation  
                  E7           Am 
     I am trying everyone to please  
    F                 C 
     Though it isn't really war  
     Dm                      Am 
     We're sending eighty thousand more 
              E7                 Am    E7 
     To help save Vietnam from Vietnamese  
  
[Verse 5] 
Am 
Well, here I sit in this rice paddy  
  Dm 
Wondering about Big Daddy  
    Am                 E7            Am E7 
And I know that Lyndon loves me so  
Am 
Yet how sadly I remember  
     Dm 
Way back yonder in November  
  Am              E7          Am 
When he said I'd never have to go  
  
   [Chorus] 
          F              C 
     And Lyndon Johnson told the nation  
     Dm                Am 
     Have no fear of escalation  
                  E7           Am 
     I am trying everyone to please  
    F                 C 
     Though it isn't really war  
     Dm                      Am 
     We're sending a hundred thousand more 
              E7                 Am    E7 
     To help save Vietnam from Vietnamese
