By Charlie Daniels Band Capo 1 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 Chorus: 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-ii-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
