A thousand [Db]years of Chinese reign.
A hundred [Cb]years of French domain.
Twenty [Bb]years fighting brothers each [Db]day,
A mother's [D#]fate, left for her child,
A mother's [Cb]fate, a land [Db]defiled.

A thousand [Db]years of Chinese reign.
A hundred [Cb]years of French domain.
Twenty [Bb]years fighting brothers each [Db]day,
A mother's [D#]fate, bones left to dry,
And graves that [Cb]fill a mountain [Db]high.

Chorus :
Teach your [Db]children to speak their minds.
Don't let [A#]them forget their [Db]kind
[A#]Never forget their [Db]kind, from old Viet [Cb]land.
Mother wait [Db]for your kids to come home,
Kids who [A#]now so far away [Db]roam.
[A#]Children of one [A#]father, be reconciled.

A thousand [Db]years of Chinese reign.
A hundred [Cb]years of French domain.
Twenty [Bb]years fighting brothers each [Db]day,
A mother's [D#]fate, our fields so dead,
And rows of [Cb]homes in flames so [Db]red.

A thousand [Db]years of Chinese reign.
A hundred [Cb]years of French domain.
Twenty [Bb]years fighting brothers each [Db]day,
A mother's [D#]fate, her kids half-breeds
Her kids filled [Cb]with disloyal [Db]ty.
