CAPO 9
(not sure about the chords for the woahs)
INTRO: Cadd9 D Em Cadd9 D G x2
VERSE:
Cadd9 D Em
my daddy was a solider in a foreign war
Cadd9 D G
but he doesn't like to talk about it anymore
Cadd9 D Em
he kept a picture of my mama right by his heart
Cadd9 D G
he'd give it one last look when the fighting would start
CHORUS:
D G Cadd9
he said all i ask is that you don't forget
D G Cadd9
'cause the war's not over when the fighting ends
D G Cadd9
there's a part of me that will always be
Cadd9 D Em
just a boy in a hole with an m-16
Cadd9 D G
airborne ranger infantry
VERSE:
i left my best friend lying in a pool of blood
as i crawled away through the bush and mud
if i could choose to go back again
i'd die lying there next to him
CHORUS:
i still see his face when i close my eyes
and i won't forget his sacrifice
there's a part of me that will always be
just a boy in a hole with an m-16
airborne ranger infantry
woah oh
woah oh
woah oh
woah
VERSE:
i didn't do it for the money, didn't do it for fame
i didn't do it so the world would remember my name
i did it for my family and my country
and my brothers who died right next to me
CHORUS:
all we ask is that don't forget
'cause the war's not over when the fighting ends
there's a part of us that will always be
just boys in a hole with our m-16s
haunted souls and memories
airborne ranger infantry
