He used to play in daddy's uniform with the stripes across the sleeve
       D                Bm           G                    A
And he knew when he was all grown up what he was gonna to be
G                  D/F#            Em              D/F#
He used to like to ambush every careless cat or dog
G                     D         Em                  A
That had the nerve to cross the battle lines he had drawn

G               D/F#           G                         D/F#
And even though he didn't know what his dad was fighting for

He was proud to be the other little soldier

D                  Bm                   G              A
Kissed him and his mom goodbye and said God I love you both
Continues after the ad
G                  D/F#          Em            D/F#
I know that it's a lot to ask of such a little man
G                     D/F#            Em           A
But hold the fort and I'll be home as quickly as I can

A wall cannot begin to hold the names of all the kids
G                  D/F#           Em              D  A
Who gave the great sacrifice that any child could give

It was the first time he had ever seen  a flag from up that close
       D                    Bm        G                 A
And he watched them as they folded it so careful and so slow
G                      D/F#           Em             D/F#
As they gave it to his mother he knew what he should do
G                    D                 Em           A
He raised his little hand and gave his dad one last salute
