[Verse 1]
D Dsus4 D Dsus4 D
Oh can you tell me, oh how the joy
A D Dsus4 D
Passed from his childhood, that's not my boy
D Dsus4 D Dsus4 D
I see he's finished, he's run his race
A D Dsus4 D
We're not his family that's not his face
D Dsus4 D Dsus4 D
We taught him well and from his youth
A D Dsus4 D
He knew he always must know the truth
D Dsus4 D Dsus4 D
He left his country to go to war
A D Dsus4 D
When he returned, he'd found we closed the door
[Chorus]
Bb C D
But we never dreamed when he was leaving
Bb C D A
That he would taste the flowers of evil
[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
D Dsus4 D Dsus4 D
I know his habit was not so bad
A D Dsus4 D
When for fifty dollars it could be had
D Dsus4 D Dsus4 D
But now he's home to his promised land
A D Dsus4 D
And what he needs got to cost a Grand
D Dsus4 D Dsus4 D
When he'd been home for six month's time
A D Dsus4 D
My son he told me, he'd made up his mind
D Dsus4 D Dsus4 D
He's re-enlisted for three years more
A D Dsus4 D
It's too expensive to stop this war
[Chorus]
Bb C D
But we never dreamed when he was leaving
Bb C D A
That he would taste the flowers of evil
[Instrumental]

[Outro]
D Dsus4 D Dsus4 D
Oh can you tell me, oh how the joy
A D Dsus4 D
Passed from his childhood, that's not my boy
D Dsus4 D Dsus4 D
He's re-enlisted for three years more
A D Dsus4 D
Is the price of peace worth the price of war?
A D Dsus4 D
Is the price of peace worth the price of war?
A D Dsus4 D
Is the price of peace worth the price of war?
A D Dsus4 D F C D F C D F C D F C D A D
Is the price of peace worth the price of war?
