C/G  C/G  G     D  

VERSE 

G                          Em 
What can you see from your window? 
G                         Em 
I can't see anything from mine. 
G                        Em 
Flags on the side of the highway 
    C/G                        G      D 
and scripture on grocery store signs. 
G                      Em 
Maybe eighteen was too early. 
      G                  Em 
Maybe thirty or forty is too. 
    G                           Em 
Did you get your chance to make peace with the man 
          C/G                      G    D 
before he sent down his angels for you?

G G Em Em G G Em Em VERSE G Em Your wife said this all would be funny G Em when you came back home in a week. G Em You'd turn twenty-two and we'd celebrate you C/G G D in a bar or a tent by the creek. G Em Your baby would just about be here. G Em Your very last tour would be up G Em but you won't be back. They're all dressing in black C/G G D drinking sweet tea in styrofoam cups.

G G Em Em G G Em Em G G Em Em C/G C/G G D VERSE G Em Now the high school gymnasium's ready, G Em full of flowers and old legionnaires. G Em Nobody showed up to protest, C/G G D just sniffle and stare. G Em But there's red, white, and blue in the rafters G Em and there's silent old men from the corps. G Em What did they say when they shipped you away C/G G D to give all in some god awful war
tabchorus
Chorus Em D G Nobody here can forget you. Em D G G/F# You showed us what we had to lose. Em Bm You never planned on the bombs in the sand C Cm G or sleeping in your dress blues. Em Bm You never planned on the bombs in the sand C Cm G or sleeping in your dress blues. Em Bm You never planned on the bombs in the sand C Cm G or sleeping in your dress blues.
