VERSE 1
  A minorAm      FF    G+G     C majorC
The day I shipped out they numbered a dozen
 A minorAm    FF       G+G     C majorC
Upon my rejourn were a hundred or so
     A minorAm         FF     G+G       C majorC
From the coast and from the prairies I bet they keep coming
A minorAm      FF     G+G   C majorC
Add one more name from Ontario

CHORUS
  G+G    C majorC       FF     C majorC
And carry me home down the highway of heroes
G+G    C majorC        A minorAm      G+G
People above with their flags flying low
G+G    C majorC        FF     C majorC
Carry me softly down the highway of heroes
G+G      C majorC       FF   C majorC
True patriot love There was never more

VERSE 2
 A minorAm     FF       G+G     C majorC
I served with distinction No visions of glory
 A minorAm       FF      G+G    C majorC
I served without question of personal gain
    A minorAm   FF        G+G     C majorC
Seek no justification It's not part of my story
    A minorAm    FF       G+G     C majorC
And it offers no comfort to the ones who remain

People above with their flags flying low
G+G    C majorC        FF     C majorC
Carry me softly down the highway of heroes

True patriot love There was never more

    A minorAm   FF      G+G      C majorC
I took up my vocation I was called by my nation
  A minorAm   FF     G+G    C majorC
Without hesitation my answer I gave
  A minorAm    FF      G+G       C majorC
Now I am not wondering of things that I might've been
    A minorAm   FF       G+G     C majorC
and I'm no consolation to the forgotten brave

There was never more
     FF   C majorC
There was never more

There was never more

There was never more
