A-D-A-D-A-E-D-A (intro)


A augmentedA              D MajorD              A augmentedA
I hold the cold steel of my rifle as I dream of foreign lands,
   D MajorD                      A augmentedA
and I promise myself I will cherish every moment I can,
      E MajorE           D MajorD         A augmentedA
but there's ghosts that follow me around everywhere I am.
          D MajorD      A augmentedA
When i say 'goodbye' I try to be strong.
    D MajorD               A augmentedA
now I'm going back to the U.S. where I belong.
   E MajorE        D MajorD           A augmentedA
I am never alone, the war seems to follow me home.
          D MajorD              A augmentedA
no longer an active soldier when i walk down the street.
    D MajorD                 A augmentedA
now I'm shaking hands with everyone that I meet.
   E MajorE           D MajorD          A augmentedA
And I watch everyone and I'm wondering what they see.

A augmentedA         D MajorD           A augmentedA
Civilian ways are now what's foreign to me,
    D MajorD                        A augmentedA
I came off a long term, I left this place in two oh oh three.
    E MajorE           D MajorD             A augmentedA
May we never forget the sacrifices my friends made for me.

A augmentedA          D MajorD          A augmentedA
I live in Marysville right on the county line,
    D MajorD                      A augmentedA
and my brother and my mother both visit me all the time,
  E MajorE             D MajorD            A augmentedA
and visions of you are always running right through my mind.
  A augmentedA               D MajorD            A augmentedA
We always talked about what we're gonna do when the war is won.
      D MajorD                      A augmentedA
We're gonna fix up them old cars and ride them into the sun.
    E MajorE            D MajorD         A augmentedA
When i heard you was no longer with us, man, i was done.

A augmentedA         D MajorD           A augmentedA
Civilian ways are now what's foreign to me,
    D MajorD                        A augmentedA
I came off a long term, I left this place in two oh oh three.
    E MajorE           D MajorD             A augmentedA
May we never forget the sacrifices my friends made for me.
May we never forget the sacrifices my friends made for me.
May we never forget the sacrifices my friends made for me.
