                Am                                    C                                 G  
I was proud to be the soldier I had been since '83
                  Am                                         F                                         E  
When I joined to pay for college, like my brothers before me
                Am                                         C                                    G  
I was proud to serve my country and to be a fine Marine
          Am                                    F                                         E                                                            Am    G    Am    G  
But pride cannot protect me from the things that I have seen
                          Am                                                 C                    G  
When they shipped us out of Norfolk, my family came to wave
        Am                                      F                                         E  
My Mama stood there choking back the tears and looking brave
          Am                                    C                                                 G  
And though we never spoke of it, we all feared it just the same
                        Am                                      F                                    E                                              Am    G  
Now they tell me I should talk about the things that I have seen
                F                                                                                              G                                                 Am  
I was trained to take the good shot, I was trained to clean my gun
             F                                                                                              Em                                         F  
They trained me not to talk back and they trained me not to run
                          Am                                      C                                 G  
And I was trained to be as silent as the shadow of a hawk
                  Am                                            F                                    E                                              Am    G  Am  G  
No one trained me for the silence of the things that I have seen
          Am                              C                            G  
And once I saw an accident on Old Route 17
             Am                                                      F                      E  
Mama told me not to look at it, as we slowly passed the scene
                             Am                              C                              G  
Though the image of that wreckage was burned into my brain
Am                                    F                                      E                                              Am    G  
That did not prepare me for the things that I have seen
     F                                                                      G                                    Am  
I thought I was a good man, I thought I was elite
     F                                                                                                              Em                         F  
I thought I'd fight the good fight, that I'd never see defeat
                                     Am                                    C                            G  
And that we'd won that bloody war, how we laughed at their retreat
                Am                              F                                              E                                              Am      G  
Now I wage a losing battle against the things that I have seen
                 Am    G  
                     Am                         C                            G  
Just be glad modern science has given us so much
                  Am                                         F                                         E  
We can rifle through the channels without ever standing up
                Am                            C                                    G  
But I can't find a station that's finally had enough
                     Am                         F                                      E                                              Am      G  
Of this morbid fascination with the things that I have seen
          Am                                      F                                            E                                              F         G  
And me, I can't stop dreaming of these things that I have seen
        Am    G
