If I Don't Make It Back

	  		CAPO II 


INTRO: D  G  Bm  A 

G                
We went out for beers and a couple laughs, knowin' full well that every bad joke  
D/F# 
Jimmy told could be his last 
      G 
So we laughed like the world wasn't at war, said things to him we'd never said before 
    D/F# 
And he teared up when he held up his glass 
     G 
Said boys, if I don't make it back 

       D                           G 
Have a beer for me, don't waste no tears on me 
   D                                G 
On Friday nights sit on the visitor side and cheer for the home team 
         D      G 
Drive my camaro ninety miles an hour down Red Rock Road 
     D           D/F#            G 
With Born to Run blastin' on the radio 
Bm           A               G              D/F#          Em            G 
Find someone good enough for Amy, who would love her like I would have 
   A               D 
If I don't make it back
 


INTRO 

        G 
We said hey man that ain't gonna happen, don't even think like that 
   D/F# 
If we know you, you'll pull thru without a scratch 
   G 
He pulled me aside in the parkin' lot, said Amy and me we're gonna tie the knot 
              D/F# 
And you're my best man, just wanted you to know that 
   G 
In case I don't make it back 


CHORUS 


BRIDGE: 
D                      G 
If the good Lord calls me home 
                     Em                                   A 
I'd like to think my friends will think about me when I'm gone 

G 
Well Miller Lite ain't my brand, but I drink one every now and then 
D/F# 
In his honor 
    G 
And we ain't missed a home game yet, had that camaro at a hundred and ten 
   D/F# 
On Red Rock Road when the speakers blowed 
      Bm          A        G                   D/F# 
And I introducted Amy to a friend of mine from Monroe 
       Em           G   A             
He's a good old boy, ah but you know, she just ain't ready 


INTRO 

      D 
Yeah, this place just ain't the same 
             G 
Without that smoke-blowin', rain-joke-tellin' 
Bm                            A 
Fist-fightin', always-smilin, dear friend to me 
         D                                G 
Hold 'em proud and hold 'em high, let him hear you in the sky 
   Bm                 A 
To one hell of a guy 
          D      G 
Here's to Jimmy 
              Bm           A 
Yeah we gonna miss ya man
