[Verse 1]
C F
Robert was a sailor for the best years of his life
C G7
His captain was his mother and the ocean was his wife
C F
Only fresh out of the cradle, life's one and only spring
C G7 C
He was sworn to do his duty and got blood on his high school ring
[Chorus]
C F
And it's hello California, hello Dad and Mom
C G7
Ship ahoy, your baby boy is home from Vietnam
C F
Don't you ask me any questions about the medals on my chest
C G7 C
Take the star out of the window and let my conscience take a rest
[Solo]

[Verse 2]
C F
Now he sailed across the ocean to the old Far Eastern war
C G7
And it was foreign to his body, it was foreign to his shore
C F
So he traded in the present for the better times he'd seen
C G7 C
And made an Oriental waitress his own homecomin' queen
[Chorus]
C F
And it's hello California, hello Dad and Mom
C G7
Ship ahoy, your baby boy is home from Vietnam
C F
Don't you ask me any questions about the medals on my chest
C G7 C
Take the star out of the window and let my conscience take a rest
