                       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

      C                               G
It`s called the hippocampus and when that part gets damaged
     Am                    Em  D  D
You can`t make memory any more
