C F
Robert was a sailor, For the best years of his life
F C G
His captain was his mother, And the ocean was his wife
C F
Only fresh out of the cradle, Lifes one and only spring
C G C
He was sworn to do his duty, And got blood on his highschool ring
Chorus:
C
And its hello california
F
Hello dad and mom
C
Ship ahoy Your baby boy
G
Is home from vietnam
C
Dont you ask me any questions
F
bout the medals on my chest
C
Take the star out of the window
G C
And let my conscience take a rest
(Rpeat Intro)
C
Now he sailed across the ocean
F
To the old far eastern war
C
And it was foreign to his body
G
It was foreign to his shore
C
So he traded in the present
F
For the better times hed seen
C
And made an oriental waitress
G C
His own home comin queen
(repeat chorus)
