Memorial Day

G C D

[Verse 1]
  G
We nicknamed him Walker
  D
He tied knots to get a badge
  Em
He said, I'll serve my country
  C
Just like my old man
  G            D              C
but July 29th, came and he was gone

[Verse 2]
  G                           D
A shiny town car parked   on that 
old gravel lot
 Em                          C
Two uniforms on the front door they 
knocked
 G                                 
His Mama started crying, she said, 
        D
you are lying!
  Em       C
Wheres my son....?

[Chorus]
   G                        D
So I'll take off my hat,  raise up 
my drink
  G                                
To the ones that gave it all for 
 Em
the US of A
  C                              D
Say a prayer for the families,  Lord
 give em strength

[Verse 3]
G                          D
Good men, good women gave all they 
had
     A                         
They were brothers and sisters, 
  C
mothers and dads
   G                            
We will never be the same,   but 
  D                        C
your sacrifice is not in vain...
