Intro:
C majorC  Bb majorBb  FF  Eb MajorEb Bb majorBb   x2

Verse:
    C majorC
It was hard for him to get out of bed
     G minorGm
When the phone rang sleepy eyed she said
      FF
"Charlie's drunk again
             C majorC
Why don't you just let it ring?"
      C majorC
Through the years he'd always picked it up
    G minorGm
For the guy who came back and saved his butt
     FF
What they have in common is a brotherhood
  G+G
So few could understand

Chorus:
     C majorC     FF
They were forged by fire
Bb majorBb
Hard times you get beyond
FF       G+G
Give you an unbreakable bond
C majorC     FF
Forged by fire
    Bb majorBb      FF
When you pray to God, beat the odds
DmDm             G+G
And you walk through hell together
        C majorC     FF  Eb MajorEb D MajorD C majorC
You're forever forged by fire

Verse:
     C majorC
The young GI said from his VA bed
     G minorGm
"Why you wanna hang out with us broken men
   FF
While you could be spending your time
           C majorC
With your family and friends."
  C majorC
He told him "son, you're family too
 G minorGm
I see myself when I look at you
   FF
In a place and time you don't forget
  G+G
So even though we've just met"

Chorus:
   C majorC     FF
We're forged by fire
Bb majorBb
Hard times you get beyond
FF       G+G
Give you an unbreakable bond
C majorC     FF
Forged by fire
    Bb majorBb      FF
When you pray to God, beat the odds

And you walk through hell together

You're forever forged (solo)

Verse:
     C majorC
He said "goodbye GI, see you next week"
  G minorGm
He rolls himself out to the street
    FF
Pretty hard for him to get up in that van
  C majorC
And throw the wheelchair in the back
C majorC
He was headed home ready to unwind
   G minorGm
When Charlie called "can you help me one more time?"
    FF
He said "Chuck, I'll be there on the double
   G+G
For a brother, it's no trouble"

Outro:
      C majorC     FF
When you're forged by fire
