[Verse 1]
EmGAB
The door slams, dust falls down between the cracks
EmGAB
Some ran, some promised they'd be back
EmGAB
Saigon all gone, ashes to dust,
EmGA
a solo dance, a solo dance
[Chorus]
F#m
And when we leave, we leave our dust,
G
we slap our clothes, we shake it off
F#m
Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam
G
Out of the dust reach tiny hands to touch
AEm
their fathers in other lands
[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
EmGAB
Love is locked in these lost eyes,
EmGAB
love is lost in these cold eyes
EmGAB
And in these wounds too raw to touch, lie
EmGA
ashes ashes, dust to dust
[Chorus]
F#m
And when we leave, we leave our dust,
G
we slap our clothes, we shake it off
F#m
Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam
G
Out of the dust reach tiny hands to touch
ABm
their fathers in other lands

[Bridge]
AEm
We are free, we are not alone,
F#mG
listen to our sound
F#mG
Take these hands of flesh and bone,
CDEm
reaching out for love
[Verse 3]
EmGAB
Discards settle where they must,
EmGAB
never knowing who to trust
EmGAB
And in these dreams that lie in rust,
EmGA
ashes ashes, dust to dust
[Chorus]
F#m
And when we leave, we leave our dust,
G
we slap our clothes, we shake it off
F#m
Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam
G
Out of the dust reach tiny hands to touch
AEm
their fathers in other lands
