Verse
A augmentedA
Said goodbye to his momma as he left south dakota
G+G C majorC
to fight fot the red white and blue
A augmentedA
He was nineteen in green with a new M-1
G+G C majorC
Just doing what he had to do
A augmentedA
He was dropped in the jungle where the choppers would rumble
G+G C majorC
With the smell of napalm in the air
A augmentedA
And the seargent said
G+G C majorC
Look up ahead
A augmentedA
Like a dark evil cloud twelve hundred came down
G+G C majorC
On him and twenty-nine more
A augmentedA
They fought for their lives but most of them died
G+G C majorC
In the 173rd airborne
Chorus
A augmentedA
On the th of November the angels were crying
G+G C majorC
As they carried his brothers away
A augmentedA
With the fire raining down and the hell all around
G+G C majorC
There were few men left standing that day
A augmentedA
Saw an eagle fly through a clear blue sky
G+G C majorC
Nineteen-sixty-five
A augmentedA G+G C majorC
the th of November
A augmentedA
Now he's fifty-eight and his pony tail's gray
G+G C majorC
But the battle still plays in his head
A augmentedA
He limps when he walks but he's strong when he talks
G+G C majorC
About the shrapnell they left in his leg
A augmentedA
He puts on a suit over his airborne tatoo
G+G C majorC
He ties it on one time a year
A augmentedA
He remembers the fallen as he orders a tall one
G+G C majorC
And swallows it down with his tears
Chorus
