The Fall of Saigon Lyrics & Tabs by Original London Cast
The Fall of Saigon
guitar chords lyrics
Sorry sargeant we must accelerate
State department says we evacuate
The word is we must be out by dawn
Christ!
Sorry sergeant its straight from Washington
No one leaves the grounds now not anyone
As fast as we load the planes we're gone
But my girl's out there!
OK keep quiet dont shout
the ambassador wont leave till everyones out
The choppers on their way theres room for you all
They're climbing over the wall
Get back!
Get back I tell you dont shout
the ambassador won't leave till everyones out
Get back!
Get back I tell you dont shout
the ambassador won't leave till everyones out
The ambassador just sent an order to freeze
Thats It! No more Vietnamese
Get in!
But my girl's out there!
Im the wife of a soldier
Please let me through!
Help me who must i pay
Tell me what i must do
Let me out, i got to go back for my bride
Listen someone, my husband is waithing inside!
Please Kim, hear the phone
I cant get there, please be home
Please Chris, no one sees!
I am lost here. Find me please!
Please, get me through
I don't care how
Don't take my love away, not now!
Oh, Chris, (Oh, Kim)
I can't get free (Please get free)
Still I'm with you (I am with you)
Wait for me (Wait for me)
Sorry Sergeant, inside the Embassy!
We are pulling out now and there will be
No more reprives
I got till the old man leaves!
Chris, don't be a schmuck
Th' Ambassador is leaving now
Take me with you
Take my children
I have a letter, look!
I helped the C.I.A.!
They'll kill who they find here!
Don't leave us behind here!
I've a wife who left already
I have an aunt in New York!
I have gold, I can pay!
There is no one left to find here!
They have left us all behind here!
I must get in there
Listen, anyone!
Please tell my husband... Look, I have his gun!
Out of my way, if that's all you've got
If I am here when they come, I'll be shot!
Let me go, John, I can't leave her
Why in the world should I be saved instead of her!
They'll kill who they find here
Don't leave us behind here!
It's not you, it's war that cruel
And if some dreams get smashed
Perhaps it's best if they were
There is no one to find here!
They have left us behind here!
Wake up, my friend, your mercy trip has failed
There's nothing you can do, that ship has sailed
She's not the only one we'll have betrayed
Get to the roof, or else we are betrayed!
Oh Chris, I still believe!
The heart of you is here with me
My heart against all odds holds still
