G C-Cmaj7-C G D

{Verse}
I [G] shot two [D] men in a [Em] military [C] car
On a [G] road in a [Em] country I [G] can't pro-[D]-nounce
I [G] saw their [D] eyes when I [Em] pulled the [C] trigger
Then [G] checked the back [Em] seat for the [G] body [D] count
I [Em] know I'm lucky, I [C] could have been
The [G] one be-[Em]-neath the [G] clo-[D]-ver
But [G] who do you [D] think will [Em] push my [C] chair
[Em] After the [G] parade is [D] o-[G]-ver

G D C-Cadd9-C-Cmaj7-C
Em G D

A [G] three star [D] general [Em] at my [C] back
And [G] another one [Em] up at the [G] micro-[D]-phone
They [G] call me a [D] hero
And [Em] sing "say can you [C] see"
To the [Em] pole where the [G] flag is [D] flown
[Em] Everyone stands when my [C] name is called
I [G] alone must [Em] sit in the [G] god damn [D] sun
And [G] Who do you [D] think will [Em] push my [C] chair
[Em] After the [D] parade is [G] done

{Bridge}
G Fm Em
[Em] Maybe I'll go to [C] college
[Em] GI bill
[C] GI bill
[Em] Maybe I'll go into [C] politics
[Em] Yes I will
[D] Yes I will

{Verse}
I'm [G] glad for the [D] disa-[Em]-bility [C] benefits
I'm [G] glad for the [Em] medals and the [G] ribbons and the [D]
songs
I [G] hope the [D] blisters [Em] on my [C] fingers
[G] Turn into [Em] calluses [G] before too [D] long
[Em] I'm glad my mother could be [C] here today
I'm [G] glad [Em] somebody [G] drove [D] her
And [G] maybe [D] she will [Em] push my [C] chair
[Em] After the [G] parade is [D] o-[G]-ver
[G] Maybe [D] she will [Em] push my [C] chair
[Em] After the [G] parade is [D] o-[G]-ver
