Capo on 1st fret
	        
 
    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
