[Intro]
Dm7
[Verse 1]
Dm7
He was talkin' 'bout the army
Dm7
While he passed his pipe around
Dm7
An American deserter
Dm7
Who found peace on Swedish ground
[Verse 2]
Dm7
He had joined to seek adventure
Dm7
And to prove himself a man
Dm7
But they tried to crush his spirit
Dm7
'Til his conscience ruined their plans
[Bridge]
Db C
And we thought of those who suffer
Db C
For the sake of honesty
Db C
All those who refuse to follow
Db C
Traitors to humanity
[Chorus]
Dm7
Here's to all the draft resisters
Dm7
Who will fight for sanity
Dm7
When they march them off to prison
Dm7
In this land of liberty
[Bridge]
Db C
Heed the threat and awesome power
Db C
Of the mighty Pentagon
Db C
Which is wasting precious millions
Db C
On the toys of Washington
[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus 2]
Dm7
Don't forget the Draft Resisters
Dm7
And their silent, lonely plea
Dm7
When they march 'em off to prison
Dm7
They will go for you and me
[Bridge]
Db C
Shame, disgrace and all dishonor
Db C
Wrongly placed upon their heads
Db C
Will not rob them of the courage
Db C
Which betrays the innocent
