[Verse 1]
Em
They took away our dogtags, they had us grow our hair
Em
They gave us student visas when we were over there
Am
They staged us out of Hondo, al Este del Salvador
Em
And I guess you'd call us Contras but no one calls much no more
D Em
There ain't no fun in killin' folk and I don't wanna do no more
[Verse 2]
Em
Well my great great rode at Shiloh and Grandpa drove a tank
Em
Daddy was air cavalry, flew choppers in Da Nang
Am
I worked mostly clandestine, the branch I should not say
Em
We played with better guns and I could use the extra pay
Am
Did Reagan give the order? Did cocaine pay the bill?
Em
Well they said we's fightin' communists but it was kinda hard to tell
D Em
There ain't no fun in killin' folk and I don't wanna do no more
(key change)
[Verse 3]
Fm
This was before Black Hawks and RPGs were king
Fm
My buddy on the door gun, well he never felt a thing
Bbm
When our Huey caught a rocket and both the pilots killed
Fm
And it pitched us over sideways on some Nicaraguan hill
Bbm
My back felt like it's broken, my legs I could not feel
Fm
But I kept on shooting communists but it was kind of hard to tell
Eb Fm
There ain't no fun in killin' folk and I ain't gonna do no more
[Verse 4]
Fm
Well I never did heal up right from injuries sustained
Fm
Officially in Germany, officially while we trained
Bbm
I remember all their faces, I dream about them still
Fm
And I guess we's fightin' communists but it was kinda hard to tell
Eb Fm
There ain't no fun in killin' folk, and I don't wanna do no more
(key change)
[Verse 5]
F#m
Well I still speak the cold logistic that warriors speak so well
F#m
Foxtrot tango whiskey, and I'll see you in hell
Bm
A soldierly bravado, an unspeakable guilt
