-----(capo 2nd fret)-----
Intro - G - A - D - A - G - A - D - A - D
(verse 1)
G A D
A letter came today from my draftboard,
D A
With tremblin hands I read the questionaire,
G A D
It asked alot of questions bout my mama and my papa,
A D
That ain't exactly what I call fair,
(chorus)
G A D
So I'm headed for the nearest foreign border,
G A D
Vancouver might be just my kind of town,
G A D
Cause they ain't got the kind of law and order,
G A D
That tends to keep a good man underground,
(verse 2)
A sad old soldier once told me a story
About a battlefield that he was on
He said a man should never fight for glory
I guess he knows what's right and what is wrong
(chorus)
G A D
So I'm headed for the nearest foreign border,
G A D
Vancouver might be just my kind of town,
G A D
Cause they ain't got the kind of law and order,
G A D
That tends to keep a good man underground,
(verse 3)
Ya'll I don't know how much I owe my uncle,
I expect that it's more than I can pay,
He's askin' me to sign a three year contract,
I guess I'll catch the next bus out today,
(chorus)
G A D
So I'm headed for the nearest foreign border,

Vancouver might be just my kind of town,

Cause they ain't got the kind of law and order,
G A D

(chorus)
