Accuracy Rating: - Votes: -
Another graveyard shift
           G
As he says goodbye
                A
To his wife and kids
             Bm
He spent his life
              G
Just like his dad's
        D   A
Driving away
                        D
Under the weight of the badge

Verse:
D
He's seen it all
D
In his 15 years
             G
Watching our backs
           A
Facing our fears
              Bm
Lord knows it ain't
        G
No easy task
           D   A
Keeping us safe
                        D
Under the weight of the badge

Chorus:
              Am
He swore that oath
               G
To protect and serve
                    D
Pours his heart and soul
                A
Into both those words
         Am
Lays his life
       G
On the line
            D
The line he walks
         A
Is razor fine
         Bm
Tempered strength
          G
Is always tough
                   D     A
But he ain't gonna buckle
                        D
Under the weight of the badge

Bridge:
G
Not that long ago
           G
He woke up in the hospital
         D
With his wife and kids
A              D
Praying by his bed
        G
He said I'm gonna be alright
                 G
There's just sometimes you gotta fight
        D
And the truth is
                       A
Nothing truer could be said
            Bm
I do it for us
                G
And I do it for them
                  D     A
And I ain't gonna buckle
                        D
under the weight of the badge

Solo:
Am G D A
Am G D D

Outro:
C          G
It doesn't weigh a lot
  D
Until you put it on
        D
And the weight of it is staggering
C         G
Then duty calls each time
   D
He knows he's gotta answer
    D
And it's all in the hand
             C
And then the woo-ohhh
          G             D
The heavy weight of the badge
D
(no words)
                   C
And he ain't gonna buckle
          G             D
Under the weight of the badge
D
(no words)
                  Am
No he ain't gonna buckle
          G
Under the weight...
            D
