I found the lyrics at http://blog.myspace.com/mrsharkattack, chords in Pete's Where Have all the Flowers Gone Songbook. The lyrics in the songbook are slightly different, as are the lyrics on the Seeds album. Many of Pete's songs have various versions.

              C
  So if you love your Uncle Sam
             Am
  Bring 'em home, bring 'em home.
               F            C
  Support our boys in Vietnam,
          F   C    G7        C
  Bring 'em home, bring 'em home.

Bring 'em Home
(Pete Seeger, 1966)

If you love this land of the free,
Bring 'em home, bring 'em home.
Bring all troops back from over seas,
Bring 'em home, bring 'em home.

It'll make our generals sad, I know,
Bring 'em home, bring 'em home.
They want to tangle with the foe,
Bring 'em home, bring 'em home.

They want to test their weaponry,
Bring 'em home, bring 'em home.
But here is their big fallacy,
Bring 'em home, bring 'em home.

I may be right, I may be wrong,
Bring 'em home, bring 'em home.
But I got a right to sing this song,
Bring 'em home, bring 'em home.

There's one thing I must confess,
Bring 'em home, bring 'em home.
I'm not really a pacifist,
Bring 'em home, bring 'em home.

If an army invaded this land of mine,
Bring 'em home, bring 'em home.
You'd find me out on the firing line,
Bring 'em home, bring 'em home.

Even if they brought their planes to bomb,
Bring 'em home, bring 'em home.
Even if they brought helicopters and napalm,
Bring 'em home, bring 'em home.

Show those generals their fallacy:
Bring 'em home, bring 'em home.
They don't have the right weaponry,
Bring 'em home, bring 'em home.

For defense you need common sense,
Bring 'em home, bring 'em home.
They don't have the right armaments,
Bring 'em home, bring 'em home.

The world needs teachers, books and schools,
Bring 'em home, bring 'em home.
And learning a few universal rules,
Bring 'em home, bring 'em home.

So now don't want to fight for oil,
Bring 'em home, bring 'em home.
Underneath some foreign soil,
Bring 'em home, bring 'em home.

Here's the version from Pete's Where Have All the Flowers Gone songbook.

Bring 'em Home
(Pete Seeger, 1966)

So if you love your Uncle Sam
Bring 'em home, bring 'em home.
Support our boys in Vietnam,
Bring 'em home, bring 'em home.

It'll make our generals sad, I know,
Bring 'em home, bring 'em home.
They want to tangle with the foe,
Bring 'em home, bring 'em home.

They want to test their weaponry,
Bring 'em home, bring 'em home.
But here is their big fallacy,
Bring 'em home, bring 'em home.

Our foe is hunger and ignorance,
Bring 'em home, bring 'em home.
You can't beat that with bombs and guns,
Bring 'em home, bring 'em home.

I may be right, I may be wrong,
Bring 'em home, bring 'em home.
But I got a right to sing this song,
Bring 'em home, bring 'em home.

There's one thing I must confess,
Bring 'em home, bring 'em home.
I'm not really a pacifist,
Bring 'em home, bring 'em home.

If an army invaded this land of mine,
Bring 'em home, bring 'em home.
You'd find me out on the firing line,
Bring 'em home, bring 'em home.

Even if they brought their planes to bomb,
Bring 'em home, bring 'em home.
Though they brought helicopters and napalm,
Bring 'em home, bring 'em home.

Show those generals their fallacy:
Bring 'em home, bring 'em home.
They don't have the right weaponry,
Bring 'em home, bring 'em home.

For defense you need common sense,
Bring 'em home, bring 'em home.
They don't have the right armaments,
Bring 'em home, bring 'em home.

The world needs teachers, books and schools,
Bring 'em home, bring 'em home.
And learning a few universal rules,
Bring 'em home, bring 'em home.

So if you love your Uncle Sam
Bring 'em home, bring 'em home.
Support our boys in Vietnam,
Bring 'em home, bring 'em home.

I also need to know the chords to this song if any body has them...

The title is given as BRING THEM HOME (IF YOU LOVE YOUR UNCLE SAM) on the album "Seeds: The Songs of Pete Seeger, Vol. 3," Appleseed CD #1072, 2003, where it is sung by Pete Seeger, Billy Bragg, and Ani DiFranco.

Allmusic.com has a sound sample, and I would also expect to find sound samples at Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble, and Yahoo! Shopping > Music, to name a few. (Their samples might or might not be the same.)

Maybe somebody who is good at that kind of thing can listen to the samples and work out the chords.
