Everytime he plays Bm he does a pickoff and hammeron on the 5th string 3rd fret
then hits A then D both one strum.
[Verse 1]
D G D
Grand-daddy came home in a B-52
A G
In a pine box covered in red, white and blue
A Bm A D
He was one of the brave and the proud and the few
D G D
Twenty-one guns helped us say goodbye
A G
I stood there in silence tryin' hard not to cry
A Bm A D
As the preacher, he quoted, lines written in red
D A D
And then he folded his bible and in a broken voice, he said
[Chorus]
G D
There's only two people who's every died for me
A D
Laid down their lives just so I could be free
G D
They both went through hell, beared crosses and shells
A D
And both got back up again after they fell
G D
They never picked the fight, but they're there
A Bm
To pick up the pieces
G A D
God only knows who we'd be without soldiers and Jesus
[Verse 2]
D G D
It seems like the news loves to run 'em both down
A G
But whenever we need 'em, they're always around
A Bm
So don't hand me a party's political views
D A D
'Cause they're a left side, a right side, and then there's the truth
[Chorus]
G D
There's only two people who's every died for me
A D
Laid down their lives just so I could be free
G D
They both went through hell, beared crosses and shells
A D
And both got back up again after they fell
G D
They never picked the fight, but they're there
A Bm
To pick up the pieces
[Bridge]
G A Bm
To me, they're both heroes for the path that they chose
D A D
'Cause one fights for my life, one fights for my soul
[Chorus]
G D
There's only two people who's every died for me
A D
Laid down their lives just so I could be free
G D
They both went through hell, beared crosses and shells
A D
And both got back up again after they fell
G D
They never picked the fight, but they're there
A Bm
To pick up the pieces
[Outro]
G A D
God only knows where we'd be without soldiers and Jesus
G D
Soldiers and Jesus
