E MajorE A augmentedA E MajorE A augmentedA E MajorE A augmentedA E MajorE A augmentedA
People starin' at me as they wheel me down the ramp toward my plane
E MajorE A augmentedA E MajorE A augmentedA E MajorE A augmentedA E MajorE A augmentedA
The war is over for me, I've forgotten everything except the pain

"Thank you sir and yes sir, it was worth it for the old red white and blue

Since I won't be walkin', I suppose I'll save some money buyin' shoes"

E MajorE A augmentedA E MajorE A augmentedA E MajorE A augmentedA E MajorE A augmentedA
The bottle hidden underneath the blanket over my two battered legs
E MajorE A augmentedA E MajorE A augmentedA E MajorE A augmentedA E MajorE A augmentedA
I can see the stewardess makin' over me and askin me "were you afraid?"
D MajorD E MajorE A augmentedA E MajorE A augmentedA
I say "why no I'm Superman, couldn't find the phone booth quite in time"

My uncle will be drunk and he'll say "Boy they do some real great things with wood"
D MajorD E MajorE A augmentedA E MajorE A augmentedA
The letter that she wrote me said goodbye, she couldn't wait and lots of luck
BB A augmentedA E MajorE A augmentedA E MajorE A augmentedA
The bottle underneath the blanket feels just like an old friend to my touch
verse 4:
E MajorE A augmentedA E MajorE A augmentedA E MajorE A augmentedA E MajorE A augmentedA
And I know she'll come and see me, but I bet she never once looks at my legs
E MajorE A augmentedA E MajorE A augmentedA E MajorE A augmentedA E MajorE A augmentedA
She'll just talk about the weather and the dress she wore, the July 4th parade
D MajorD E MajorE A augmentedA E MajorE A augmentedA
Lord I love her so much that I don't think I can drink her off my mind
BB A augmentedA E MajorE A augmentedA E MajorE A augmentedA
And I can see it in the paper where they're sayin' that the war's a waste of time
