Soldiers And Jesus chords by James Otto

Chords with lyrics

then hits A augmentedA then D MajorD both one strum
D MajorD             G+G D MajorD
Grand-daddy came home in a B-52
             A augmentedA       G+G
In a pine box covered in red, white and blue
                A augmentedA       B minorBm A augmentedA D MajorD
He was one of the brave and the proud and the few


D MajorD           G+G     D MajorD
Twenty-one guns helped us say goodbye
                A augmentedA      G+G
I stood there in silence tryin' hard not to cry
                 A augmentedA     B minorBm A augmentedA D MajorD
As the preacher, he quoted, lines written in red
      D MajorD             A augmentedA        D MajorD
And then he folded his bible and in a broken voice, he said

    G+G           D MajorD
There's only two people who's every died for me
A augmentedA               D MajorD
Laid down their lives just so I could be free
   G+G               D MajorD
They both went through hell, beared crosses and shells
  A augmentedA           D MajorD
And both got back up again after they fell


   G+G                  D MajorD
They never picked the fight, but they're there
  A augmentedA      B minorBm
To pick up the pieces


G+G            A augmentedA            D MajorD
God only knows who we'd be without soldiers and Jesus


  D MajorD              G+G      D MajorD
It seems like the news loves to run 'em both down
                 A augmentedA   G+G
But whenever we need 'em, they're always around
              A augmentedA     B minorBm
So don't hand me a party's political views
         D MajorD              A augmentedA        D MajorD
'Cause they're a left side, a right side, and then there's the truth


   G+G           D MajorD
There's only two people who's every died for me
A augmentedA               D MajorD
Laid down their lives just so I could be free
   G+G               D MajorD
They both went through hell, beared crosses and shells
  A augmentedA           D MajorD
And both got back up again after they fell

   G+G                  D MajorD
They never picked the fight, but they're there
  A augmentedA      B minorBm
To pick up the pieces



  G+G                A augmentedA       B minorBm
To me, they're both heroes for the path that they chose
      D MajorD            A augmentedA       D MajorD
'Cause one fights for my life, one fights for my soul


   G+G           D MajorD
There's only two people who's every died for me
A augmentedA               D MajorD
Laid down their lives just so I could be free
   G+G               D MajorD
They both went through hell, beared crosses and shells
  A augmentedA           D MajorD
And both got back up again after they fell


   G+G                  D MajorD
They never picked the fight, but they're there
  A augmentedA      B minorBm
To pick up the pieces


G+G             A augmentedA            D MajorD
God only knows where we'd be without soldiers and Jesus
 G+G      D MajorD
