Still In Saigon

	  		 
 
    Bm 
Got on a plane in 'Frisco 
        G  
And got off in Vietnam 
  Bm 
I walked into a different world 
    G 
The past forever gone 
Em                   F#m 
I could have gone to Canada 
     Bm 
Or I could have stayed in school 
    Em               F#m   
But I was brought up differently 
  A 
I couldn't break the rules 
 
Thirteen months and fifteen days 
The last ones were the worst 
One minute I'd kneel down and pray 
And the next I'd stand and curse 
 
No place to run to 
Where I did not feel that war 
When I got home I stayed alone 
And checked behind each door 
        Bm 
Cuz I'm still in Saigon 
G 
Still in Saigon 
     Bm 
I am still in Saigon 
      G  F#m   Em 
In my mi-i-i?i-nd 

 The ground at home was covered in snow 
And I was covered in sweat 
My younger brother calls me a killer 
And my daddy calls me a vet 
Everybody says I'm someone else 
And I'm sick and there's no cure 
Damned if I know who I am 
There was only one place I was sure 
 
When i was: Chorus 
 
Bridge: 
Em           Bm  
Every summer when it rains 
  Em                  Bm 
I smell the jungle, I hear the planes 
  Em                   Bm 
I can't tell no one, I feel ashamed 
  F#m                Bm 
Afraid some day I'll go insane 
 
 
That's been ten long years ago 
And time has gone on by 
Now and then I catch myself 
Eyes searching through the sky 
All the sounds of long ago 
Will be forever in my head 
Mingled with the wounded cries 
And the silence of the dead 
 
'Cuz I'm Chorus 
 
I am still in Saigon 
I am still in Saigon 
Yes, I'm still in Saigon 
In my mind 
 
  
 
I don't think this is quite perfect but its really close, any suggestions? - Rowane
