Verse:
C             F           C          Am
 When I was a young man I carried my pack
    C         G                C
And lived the free live of the rover
  C         F       C            Am
I smoked on sativa, guitar on my back
    C                G         C
And played my little songs all over

Pre-chorus:
    G                      F         C
But in two-thousand-ten my country said: 'Son
G                           F            C
It's time to stop rambling, there's work to be done.'
    C              F                 C         Am
And they gave me a tin hat, and they gave me a gun
         C       G           C
And they flew me away to the war

Chorus:
        Am        F/C   C
And the DJ played Miley Cyrus,
   Am       F/C   C
'A Party In The USA'
          Am        F/C   C
Yeah, the DJ played Miley Cyrus,
       C           G           C
And we flew to the Afghan that day

Break:
C  G  C

Verse:
  C            F       C           Am
I remember the day our orders came in
  C              G           C            
I was scared, my stomach was sinking
    C                 F      C             Am
And when Martinez got shot I cried with my gun, Pow
      C           G            C
And I fired right back without blinking

Pre-chorus:
       G                        F                C
And we moved down the range, we pumped ourselves well
   G                            F                  C
We chased them with bullets, we showered them with shells
       C             F      C             Am
And in ten minutes flood we blown them to hell
C             G         C
 I thought of my mum in Atlanta

Chorus:
        Am               F/C   C
Because she always loved Miley Cyrus,
   Am       F/C   C
'A Party In The USA'
       Am                  F/C         C
Though the words seemed to take on new meaning
   C        G                C
As I turned nineteen on that day

Break:
C  G  C

Verse:
  C            F            C                 Am
I looked at my brothers who'd once been young boys
    C               G                   C
And their eyes have gone black from the slaughters
        C         F       C               Am
And for ten weary weeks I kept myself for life
      C              G                 C
As we moved down the range towards the water

Pre-chorus:
    G                    F                   C
But then one day a shell knocked my ass over head
    G                     F        C
And when I woked up in my hospital bed
           C               F      C            Am
And when I saw what it had done I wished I was dead
        C               G                 C
I never knew there were worse things than dying

Chorus:
        Am            F/C   C
And the nurses hummed Miley Cyrus,
       Am      F/C                C
As the doctors explained what was wrong
          Am            F/C   C
Yeah, the nurses hummed Miley Cyrus,
      C         G              C
But I no longer cared for that song

Verse:
C                  F            C             Am
They collected the wounded, the crippled, the maimed
         C       G           C
And they flew us all home to Atlanta
    C            F            C             Am
The armless, the legless, the blind and the insane
       C            G         C
I wore fatigues and blood red bandanas

Pre-chorus:
   G                              F               C   
We landed on the same runway we'd lefted on February
    G                           F            C
And when I looked down where my legs used to be
  C                   F   C               Am
I thanked God that no one was waiting for me
   C             G            C
To grieve and to mourn and to pity

End-chorus:
        Am        F/C   C
And the DJ played Miley Cyrus, again
   Am       F/C   C
'A Party In The USA'
    Am                  F/C            C
And no one cheered they just stared at us
    C             G           C
And slowly turned their heads away
          C             G             C
Yes, they slowly turned their heads away
