A 
Jimmy wasn't 
       A7 
really popular 
         D 
He had a couple of 
             D7 
friends back home 
F 
Sooner or later they're 
G 
all getting out 
      C 
So he had to 
join up alone 
A 
  He was dreaming 
       A7 
of the Ivy League 
Since he was 
D           D7 
only 3 feet tall 
F 
  Get the hell out 
   G 
of Jersey and then 
         C 
He would never 
look back at all 

(Refrão) 
             F 
And then you hear them 
         Em 
say That miles away 
   C7 
We lost another one 
        F 
that we sent with a gun 
Fm 
  They're gonna miss him 
       F#m7 
he was two weeks from twenty 
             F 
And there's still no shame 
         G 
From the man to blame 

(verso 2) 
A 
  Jimmy never had 
  A7 
a reason to stay 
Cause all the 
D              D7 
factories shut down 
F 
  All he had was 
  G 
a line for his name 
            C 
So he could sign away 
his right to be proud 
A 
  He tried to kiss her 
       A7 
on the way out the door 
             D 
But she just put her 
                   D7 
little hand on his face 
  F 
I don't understand why 
       G 
you're leaving she said 
      C 
But I hope you're 
                C7 
gonna ask me to wait 

(Refrão)

F 
  Jimmy's mother went 
   G 
to Capitol Hill 
             Em 
So she could fill her 
              Am G 
heart up with joy 
Dm 
  Maybe shake a few 
G 
hands while she's there 
             Em 
And tell him thank you 
                  Am G 
sir for taking my boy

          G           F 
and We're all to blame 
             G 
We're all to blame 
             F 
We're all to blame 
             G 
We're all to blame

We're all to blame
