Roger Mcguinn

^G I grew up believing in ^C Jesse and ^G Frank
Cause we never had nothing or ^A no one to ^D thank
And I ^C came pretty close to unloading a ^G bank
But I was saved by my draft board when they ^D made me a ^G Yank
^G In the 102nd they ^C busted your ^G hump
The taught me a man isn't ^A always a ^D chump
In the ^C course of Korea I learned how to ^G jump
In the card game of life I was ^D holding a ^G trump
^G Floating I'm floating on ^C down thru the ^G sky
Never had no ambition to ^A learn how to ^D fly
Be ^C glad when it's over be happy to ^G land
With this bag full of money I've ^D got in my ^G hands
^G If you can't get a job and they ^C think your ^G insane
If the years of your youth have been ^A washed down the ^D drain
And if you ^C wake up one morning with nothing but ^G pain
It was then I decided to ^D grab me a ^G plane
^G With all of my training it ^C wasn't to ^G tough
^G Now I'm thru taken orders and ^A taken their ^D guff
Gonna ^C buy me a cadilac and some luxury ^G stuff
Cause a veterans pension ain't ^D nearly enou ^G gh
