A minorAm     G+G         A minorAm
Back in the days of shock and awe

We came to liberate them all

Back in the days of "mission accomplished"
C majorC       G+G       A minorAm
Our chief was landing on the deck
A minorAm     C majorC      D MajorD      FF
The sun was setting on a golden photo op
A minorAm     G+G        A minorAm
Back in the days of "mission accomplished"

A minorAm      G+G       A minorAm
Thousands of bodies in the ground
C majorC         G+G          A minorAm
Brought home in a boxes to a trumpet's sound

Thousands buried in the ground

Millions of tears for a soldier's wife
A minorAm     C majorC      D MajorD         FF
Both sides losing now, Heaven takes them in
A minorAm      G+G          A minorAm
Thousands of children scarred for life

A minorAm    G+G          A minorAm
We had a chance to change our mind
C majorC      G+G         A minorAm
But somehow wisdom was hard to find
A minorAm      C majorC        D MajorD        FF
We went with what we knew an now we can't go back

But we had a chance to change our mind.
