C majorC FF C majorC FF

Verse 1:
     C majorC
There's a memory that rings clear as a bell
                    A minorAm
I was bouncing like a bull rider on his knee
    C majorC                FF
I sure miss those old stories that he'd tell
    G+G
From a hobo on a freight train

To a sailor out at sea
  C majorC
My granny says that I've got his smile
     A minorAm
He's the reason I take pride in my last name
   FF
No he never made the headlines

Nobody sings his song
    G+G
So for every unsung hero I'm singing this today

Chorus:
       A minorAm              C majorC
So raise your bottle to the boys and let's remember
    A minorAm                C majorC
All the fallen and the price they had to pay
       DmDm           C majorC
Hold them up high and salute all the ones that made it back
      G+G                  FF
And for the ones away from home, don't forget to pray


Verse 2:
   C majorC
Grandpa could sing you every Hank Williams song
     A minorAm         C majorC        A minorAm
But it's Amazing Grace that brought him back around
   FF
He'd shed a tear talking about the day
   G+G
That German gunner shot his best friend down
  C majorC
My daddy fought a war some say in vain
  A minorAm
He came home in a wheel chair, and he walks with a cane
      FF
Seems like every generation has to pay the cost
 G+G
I think about my family

And the good friends that we've lost

Chorus:
       A minorAm              C majorC
So raise your bottle to the boys and let's remember
    A minorAm                C majorC
All the fallen and the price they had to pay
       DmDm           C majorC
Hold them up high and salute all the ones that made it back
      G+G                  FF
And for the ones away from home, don't forget to pray


Bridge:
      DmDm       C majorC
From Normandy to Korea, to Khe Sanh, Vietnam
   FF   C majorC
Heartaches streach from coast to coast
      DmDm           C majorC
From Bunker Hill to Fallujah, Gettysburg, to Japan
   FF       C majorC         FF
Everyone who's ever served or lost someone
       G+G    FF  E minorEm  DmDm
Let's make a toast


Chorus:
       A minorAm              C majorC
So raise your bottle to the boys and let's remember
    A minorAm                C majorC
All the fallen and the price they had to pay
       DmDm           C majorC
Hold them up high and salute all the ones that made it back
      G+G                  FF
And for the ones away from home, don't forget to pray
