Whirlpools
A
I was born in 49 sir
D A
In a place not far from here
At night my daddy liked to beat me
E A
For whatever reason he had near
A
I had holes, holes in my shoes sir
D A
My clothes never fit me right
A
Kids in school pushed me around some
E A
And I feared what might come at night
E
We’re all brief whirlpools
D A
Brief whirlpools on a timeless lake
A
Last year's snow - a child's dream
D E E A
forgotten at daybreak
A
I used to steal books from the drug store
D A
‘Cause I never had a dime
I’d read them in the moonlight
E A
And I was hungry all the time
A
I stole a car one night in high school
D A
Just a damn silly thing to do
A
Drove the car right down Main Street
E A
Probably blew the horn at you
A
One armed judge said, said to me son
D A
Son I’ll give you a choice
A
You can go to prison or The Army
E A
Courtroom echoed with his voice
E
We’re all brief whirlpools
D A
Brief whirlpools on a timeless lake
A
Last year's snow - a child's dream
D E E A
forgotten at daybreak
A
Now I weren’t meant to be no soldier
D A
But I became one any way
A
Ninh Tuan is where they sent me
E D
A place I spent my last fourteen days
A
Master Sargent he took to hating me
D A
Said I was too damn slow
A
Liked to kick me square in the ass he did
E A
And holler “Go, asshole go go !”
A
I shook at night in my bunk sir
D A
Afraid that he would come around
A
He’d Order me to get up
E A
Just so he could knock me down
E
We’re all brief whirlpools
D A
Brief whirlpools on a timeless lake
A
Last year's snow - a child's dream
D E E A
forgotten at daybreak
A
I ran off into the jungle
D A
Leaned against a tree all night
A
MP’s they came a lookin’
E A
Just as soon as it got light
A
I was AWOL and bound for prison
D A
Put my rifle to my head
A
Some people live a long life
D A
Some die after just one breath
A
Some people never had no life
E A
And they find a friend in death
E
We’re all brief whirlpools
D A
Brief whirlpools on a timeless lake
A
Last year's snow - a child's dream
D E E A
forgotten at daybreak
A
Last year's snow - a child's dream
D E E A
forgotten at daybreak
