[Verse 1]
C
Harvey McPhee was my father
        G
Harvey served in World War Two
F                        Am
Just like him they were all young men
       G
Lord knows what they went through
     F           G
I remember on Remembrance Day
       C               G          Am
Dad saluted those who fought and died
          F
I can't imagine what he was thinking
                G
When I saw the tears in my father's eyes

[Chorus]
       Em                   Am
This country these days it seems
         Em               Am
Is not proud as it should be
       F              Em         G
Do we care about our Heroes anymore
       F                 G
Do we take the time to thank a soldier
      C    G        Am
For everything they do
            F                                       G
Have we forgotten those brave souls who fought and died
                  C
For the Red and White

[Verse 2]
          C
I knew a man who served in Korea
         G
He came back a different man
         F            Am
He went over for his country
    G
To fight in a foreign land
    F                     G
He took to pills and the bottle
             C              G    Am
To numb his nightmares and his pain
    F
He went to war barely 19
       G
Bob Archer was his name

[Chorus]
       Em                   Am
This country these days it seems
         Em               Am
Is not proud as it should be
       F              Em         G
Do we care about our Heroes anymore
       F                 G
Do we take the time to thank a soldier
      C    G        Am
For everything they do
            F                                       G
Have we forgotten those brave souls who fought and died
                  C
For the Red and White

           G#
Just twentysix from Newfoundland
     F#              A#m
Was days away from coming home
             G#
When he was killed in Afghanistan
     F#         G#
He never had a hope in hell
          C#     G#       A#m
Al-Qaida bomber took his life
         F#
So far away from his home, on Green Route Road
              G#
That solider died for the Red and White

[Alt. chorus]
      F           A#m
This country sometimes
          F                  A#m
Makes me so damn mad I could cry
           F#             F              G#
Cause we never thank our heros enough anymore
      F#                G#
How many of us thank a soldier
      C#   G#       A#m
For everything they do
            F#                                G#
We can't forget all those who serve who sacrifice
                     A#m
All for the Red and White
     F#                                   G#
Lest we forget our heros, who fought and died
                  F#  G#
For the Red and White
                 A#m  F#  G#  C#
For the Red and White
