Till The Last Shots Fired chords by Trace Adkins
Guitar chords with lyrics
CAPO 2
INTRO:
Em D C
I was there in the winter of '64
D Bm C
When we camped in the ice at Nashville's doors
G D Em
Three hundred miles our trail had led
D Bm C
We barely had time to bury our dead
C D
When the Yankees charged and the colors fell
D Bm C
Overton hill was a living hell
C D
When we called retreat it was almost dark
D Em
I died with a grapeshot in my heart
🎸

Em D C
In June of 1944
D Bm C
I waited in the blood of Omaha's shores
G D Em
Twenty-one and scared to death
D Bm C
My heart poundin' in my chest
C D
I almost made the first seawall
D Bm C
When my friends turned and saw me fall
C D
I still smell the smoke, I can taste the mud
D Em
As I lay there dying from a loss of blood
C D Em
Say a prayer for peace
C G D
For every fallen son
C D Em
Set my spirit free
C G D
Let me lay down my gun

Sweet mother Mary I'm so tired

But I can't come home 'til the last shot's fired

I'm in the fields of Vietnam,

The mountains of Afghanistan

And I'm still hopin', waitin', prayin'

I did not die in vain

Say a prayer for peace
C G D
For every fallen son
C D Em
Set our spirits free

For our daughters and our sons
Set our spirits free (set us free)
Let us lay down our guns

Sweet mother Mary, we're so tired
But we can't come home (No
we can't come home)
[Choir:]
No we can't come home
