C C6 Dm G
In Nineteen Sixty Seven the draft caught up with me,
Dm Em C F
me and my pal Joe went off to war.

We might find hero's heaven, but we'd keep the country free.
Dm Em C G
We would surely win just like before.

Roy Rogers he was on his horse,
C Am
and Buck Jones drew his gun.
Dm G
We would surely win of course
Am G
when the battle was all done.

[Verse 2]
C C6 Dm G
Nineteen Sixty Seven I came back alone,
Dm Em C Cmaj7/9
they brought Joe back in plastic on the plane.
C C6 Dm G
Nineteen Sixty Seven seems so long ago,
Dm Em C G
but I can't forget my friend or ease my pain.

[Bridge]
F G C Am
His family may forget him, his children may regret him,
Dm G Am G
his wife may find another and go on.
F G C Am
His picture may grow faded and the world he knew gone jaded
Dm G Am Caug7/9 G F
but as long as I shall live I surely know,
G C Fm
I never will forget my buddy Joe.
C Am Dm G Dm G
