Oh she was high up there in the airCaught still by a soldier's stare
Whenever it was men amongst menDown upon the land
And she followed those mother's sonsShe felt the thunder of their guns
From a pearl's eye view, just a camera in her handShe was born Georgette but the name
Didn't suit her wellSo, she blew out of Wisconsin as Dickey Chapelle
Oh, she flew with a pilot's prideThe first witness to either side
She carried relief to the lost onesBetween the bombs
And we saw it all through her lensShe knew she'd go back again
When the call rang out once more from VietnamShe's been through this before,
She'll tell ya war is hellHer pearl earrings caught the light
On Dickey Chapelle

Oh, that's the way it wasShe was the only one to tell
In 1962,She blew the whistle loud and clear
Now we trace her wingsIn her footsteps without fear
To the front lines where she fellWhere she lies stillBut she's still there
It was 1965,Over Chu Lai in a free fall dive
In a dawn patrol to cover the dead zone groundShe tiptoed through the land mines
All along the enemy linesBut she never saw the one that took her downShe captured the bloody pearls of war so well
That war was bound to steal the end of Dickey Chapelle
