Verse:
A                               (D)*              A
Said goodbye to his momma as he left south dakota
G                              D
to fight fot the red white and blue

A                              (D)*     A
He was nineteen in green with a new M-16
G                         D
Just doing what he had to do

A                                     (D)*                 A
He was dropped in the jungle where the choppers would rumble
G                               D
With the smell of napalm in the air

A
And the seargent said
G           D
Look up ahead

A                           (D)*              A

I think it sounds good, it makes it so you are not holding A out so long. Its a good song, don't be afraid to let ring for a little, i.e. only strum F once until the G on "saw the eagle fly", it sounds best.
