            THE SARGE
           CASEY BLACK

CAPO: 7th FRET

INTRO:
G C D G Em C D D


VERSE:
G           C
We were on patrol outside Hamdaniya
    D       G
When an IED blew the floor from right beneath us
  Em        Am        Am D D
My helmet was bloody, Jim was blown to pieces

   G         C
When I woke up I was scared that I`d been captured
    D            G
And it happened that way every morning thereafter
    Em             A        D D
Til my doctor thought to hang an American flag here


CHORUS:
  C               G
My name is Sergeant Holcomb, sorry if I already told ya
  C       Am       Em
I can`t remember anything since the war
   C                G
It`s called the hippocampus and when that part gets damaged
   C           C Em D D
You can`t make memory any more


VERSE:
      G               C
Well the nurse winks at me and says her name even though
  D            G
Apparently we met about an hour ago
      Em            Am           D D
And if the calendar`s right we met a couple hundred times or so

       G             C
When I feel sorry for myself I think about ole Jim
  D        G
And I thank God I remember him
    Em
So if I ever see his momma
   Am          D D
I say yes ma`am I remember him


CHORUS:
  C               G
My name is Sergeant Holcomb, sorry if I already told ya
  C       Am       Em
I can`t remember anything since the war
   C                G
It`s called the hippocampus and when that part gets damaged
   Am          Em D D
You can`t make memory any more


INSTRUMENTAL:
C G D D C G


BREAK:
  Em              C
Well I don`t need your pity, my brother says he sees me
 Am             Em
Every single weekend that he can
    Em            C
And I know you wanna ask, if I could would I go back
 Am         D            C     D
Yes sir I`d do it again and again, I do it again and again


CHORUS:
  C               G

It`s called the hippocampus and when that part gets damaged

Well a private told you all of this before
