HELLO VIETNAM Johnny Wright

Kiss, me goodbye and write me while I'm gone
D A D
Good, bye, my sweetheart, Hello Viet-nam

America has heard the bugle, call
A A7 D
And you know it involves us, one and all
G D
I don't suppose that war will ever end
A A7 D
There's fighting that will break us up again.
CHORUS:
D G D
Good bye, my darling, Hello Viet-nam
G A
A hill to take, a battle to be won
A G D
Kiss me goodbye and write me while I'm gone
D A7 D
Good bye, my sweetheart, Hello Vietnam.
A A7 D
A ship is waiting for us at the dock
D A A7 D
America has trouble to be stopped
D G D
We must stop Communism in that land
D A A7 D
Or freedom will start slipping through our hands.
(NARRATED) I hope and pray someday the world will learn
That fires we don't put out, will bigger burn
We must save freedom now, at any cost
Or someday, our own freedom will be lost
While the following verse below marked with an * is sung in the background
G D
* Good bye, my darling, Hello Vietnam

A hill to take, a battle to be won

Kiss me goodbye and write me while I'm gone

Good bye, my sweetheart, Hello Viet-nam.
