Lest We Forget

C / F / C / G

C                                 
Don’t know what you saw over 
  F
there, another time someplace 
somewhere,
       C                        G
just a kid with a uniform and a gun
C                            F
Sign up for something to do, steady 
pay across an ocean of blue
    C            G         
somewhere in the land of the 
           C
midnight sun

  C                           
A medal for bravery, and a few 
                 F
medals more, dispatches from that 
far east war,
C                            
discharge papers all kept in a 
  G
drawer
  C                            F
A question from a curious kid, what 
was it like, what you did
          C                   
there’s a far-away look for an 
 G               C
answer, nothing more

F     C      F                  
Memories, of long gone heroes 
         C            G
who still live in your dreams
F     C          F              
Memories, of the good and the 
              C       G
bad and all the gray in-between
Am    G     Am               F 
Memories, can’t forget what 
               G
should have never been
F     C              G   F  C
Memories, lest we forget…

[Instrumental]
Am / G / Am / F / G - F / C / G / 

F / C

C                                  
Nothing said, nothing more, than a 
F
black & white photo worn and torn,
C                            
he was so young, could’ve been 
     G
anyone
C                                 
Someone’s brother, someone’s son, 
  F
a memory now, forever young,
        C          G            C
just a kid with a uniform and a gun

[Chorus]

C                                 
So you carry that flag in that 
              F
fall parade, for all the ones not 
here today,
    C                             
for what you saw and for what was 
G
done
C                                 
Good and evil, black and white, 
  F
you did your best, what you thought 
was right
       C          G             C
just a kid with a uniform and a gun
