C# minorC#m
Cigarettes and a bottle of beer, this poem that I wrote for you
A augmentedA C# minorC#m
This black stone and these hard tears, they're all I've got left now of you
F# minorF#m C# minorC#m
I remember you in your Marine uniform laughing, laughing at your ship out party
F# minorF#m C# minorC#m
I've read Robert McNamara, he says he's sorry
A augmentedA C# minorC#m
Yeah, you and your boots and black t-shirt, oh, Billy you looked so bad
A augmentedA C# minorC#m
Yeah you and your rock and roll band was the best thing this shit town ever had
F# minorF#m A augmentedA C# minorC#m
Now the men that put you here eat with their families in rich dining halls
F# minorF#m C# minorC#m A augmentedA
And apology and forgiveness got no place here at all, here at the wall
|A augmentedA|C# minorC#m|A augmentedA||C# minorC#m|F# minorF#m|A augmentedA|C# minorC#m|F# minorF#m|A augmentedA|C# minorC#m|
A augmentedA C# minorC#m
I'm sorry that I missed you last year, I couldn't find no one to drive me
A augmentedA C# minorC#m
If your eyes could cut through that black stone, tell me would they recognize me
F# minorF#m A augmentedA C# minorC#m
For the living time it must be served, the day goes on
F# minorF#m A augmentedA C# minorC#m
Cigarettes and a bottle of beer and skin on black stone
A augmentedA C# minorC#m
On the ground dog tags and wreaths of flowers, with their ribbons as red as the blood
A augmentedA C# minorC#m
Red as the blood you spilled, in the Central Highlands mud
F# minorF#m A augmentedA C# minorC#m
Limousines rush down Pennsylvania Avenue rustling the leaves as they fall
F# minorF#m A augmentedA C# minorC#m A augmentedA 
E MajorE
Apology and forgiveness got no place here at all, here at the wall
|A augmentedA|C# minorC#m|A augmentedA|C# minorC#m|F# minorF#m|A augmentedA|C# minorC#m|F# minorF#m|A augmentedA|C# minorC#m| (x2 and fade out)
