The Blue And The Gray

	  		
Intro: Em7  D  Cadd9  G  D  G 

Verse 
    Em7            D 
The family's been here for 
    Cadd9        G 
The last hundred years 
         G        D         G 
And it's all that he's ever known 
Em7          D 
Life in the cotton fields 
Cadd9          G 
Swamps and the rolling hills 
G             D        G 
Always called Arkansas home 
D 
But when the war came like his father before 
C             G 
He joined the army 
C               G 
And went to the war 
Em7          D 
Leaving the rolling hills 
Cadd9          G 
Swamps and the cotton fields 
G           D        G 
Bound for a Normandy shore 

Riff 
Em7  D  Cadd9  G  D  G 

verse 2 
Em7               D 
The patch that he wore on 
Cadd9      G 
His uniform 
    G    D        G 
Was both blue and grey 
    Em7       D 
The colors of men who died 
Cadd9      G       
Fighting another fight 
    G    D           G 
And more would die today 
   D 
At Omaha beach against Germany 
  Cadd9         G 
A young country boy 
          C          G 
Struggled out of the sea 
Em7       D 
Up on the sand where 
Cadd9  G 
Many a man 
      G     D          G 
Would never know victory 

Riff 
Em7  D  Cadd9  G  D  G 

verse 3 
Em7          D 
Fought the entire time 
Cadd9     G     
Up on the front line 
       G       D          G 
It was lonely, bloody and cold 
Em7        D 
The only relief he'd find 
C             G 
Might be some old French wine 
    G             D         G 
The water was all dirty and froze 
           D 
But he was luckier than some, a better soldier than most 
   Cadd9              G 
He came back from Europe 
    C         G 
But never got home 
Em7           D 
Now he's back on the farm 
Cadd9   G 
But not out of harm 
   G            D             G 
He drank so the pain wouldn't show 

Riff 
Em7  D  Cadd9  G  D  G 

verse 4 
Em7            D 
Well he left behind 
Cadd9         G 
My brothers and I 
   G            D           G 
We never really knew him at all 
  Em7      D  
I barely remember him 
Cadd9   G 
Smoking with a grin 
G           D              G 
But looking mean; standing tall 
D 
Well I can only hope that he wouldn't be ashamed 
C            G 
Of the man I become 
        C           G 
And the life that I made 
    Em7        D 
And he did the hardest part 
    C               G 
And lived life with all his heart 
      G       D             G 
And I hope I don't let him down
