Capo 3 

Cadd9                    D       G 
My daddy was a soldier in a foreign war  
   Cadd9                            D    G 
But he doesn't like to talk about it any more  
           Cadd9                   D       Em 
He kept a picture of my mama right by his heart  
            Cadd9                     D              G 
He'd give it one last look before the fighting would start  

        G                     D      Cadd9 
He said all I ask is that you don't forget 
           G                     D        Cadd9 
Cause the wars not over when the fighting ends  
          G                    D         Em 
There's a part of me that will always be  
       Cadd9                 D   G 
Just a boy in a hole with an M-16  
 Cadd9         D      G 
Airborne ranger infantry  

Cadd9                    D       G 
I left my best friend lying in a pool of blood  
   Cadd9                            D    G 
While I crawled away through the brush and mud  
           Cadd9                   D       Em 
If I could choose to go back again  
            Cadd9                     D              G 
I'd die lying there next to him  
        G                     D      Cadd9 
I still see his face when I close my eyes  
           G                     D        Cadd9 
As I won't forget his sacrifice  
          G                    D         Em 
There's a part of me that will always be  
       Cadd9                 D   G 
Just a boy in a hole with an M-16  
Cadd9         D      G 
Airborne ranger infantry  


Cadd9   G 
Oh, oh 
Cadd9   G 
Oh, woah 
Cadd9 G D 
Oh, oh, yeah 


Cadd9                    D       G 
I didn't do it for the money didn't do it for fame  
Cadd9                    D       G 
I didn't do it so the world would remember my name  
          G                    D         Em 
I did it for my family and my country,  
            Cadd9                     D              G 
And my brothers who died right next to me.
