Lyrics
Introverse 1
We met as soul mates on Parris Island
We left as inmates from an asylum
And we were sharp as sharp as knives
And we were so gung ho to lay down our lives
We came in spastic Like tameless horses
We left in plastic as numbered corpses
And we learned fast to travel light
Our arms were heavy but our bellies were tight
Verse 2
We had no home front we had no soft soap
They sent us Playboy they gave us Bob Hope
We dug in deep and shot on sight
And prayed to Jesus Christ with all of our might
We had no cameras to shoot the landscape
We passed the hash pipe and played our Doors tapes
And it was dark so dark at night
And we held on to each other like brother to brother
We promised our mothers we'd write
Chorus 1
And we would all go down together
We said we'd all go down together
Yes we would all go down together
Verse 3
Remember Charlie remember Baker
They left their childhood on every acre
And who was wrong? and who was right?
It didn't matter in the thick of the fight
Bridge
We held the day in the palm of our hand
They ruled the night and the night seemed to last
Verse 4
as long as six weeks on Parris Island
We held the coastline they held the highlands
And they were sharp as sharp as knives
They heard the hum of the motors they counted the rotors
And waited for us to arrive
Chorus 2
Coda
Goodnight Saigon
Billy Joel

What other choirs say about ChorusOnline
100% legal sheet music
ChorusOnline has been working honestly and professionally from the start (2008).
Honest because we work with the permission of the copyrights holders. We are assisted by BINGH lawyers in Amsterdam, specialized in copyright.
Professional because we only work with highly trained arrangers who have years of experience. In addition, each arrangement is checked by both the ChorusOnline team and the copyrights holder. So we can guarantee the highest possible quality.
Copyright Act and linking to copyrights holders
Arranging and selling (making public) of arrangements is prohibited without the permission of the copyrights holders. This is described in article 1 of the Copyright Act
You can download the English version of the Copy Right Act here.
Our high-tech payment system is linked to the copyrights holders. At the moment of payment, the copyrights holder (the artist) receives his/her royalties within a few seconds and you, our customer, a legal package (PDF + MP3). Our packages have been put together with the greatest care and are approved by the copyrights holder.
Costs and your choice.
This all means that, due to royalties, we are probably a bit more expensive than other providers/arrangers. If an arrangement is offered cheaper by someone else, you can be almost certain that it is an illegal arrangement that is duping our team of professionals.
More and more choirs worldwide appreciate our approach and therefore choose legal sheet music via ChorusOnline. We rely on the same approach during the ordering process: honestly indicate the amount of choir members, you will sing with a better feeling. In this way, our team can continue to enlarge our beautiful legal choir catalogue.
Kind Regards
