[Verse 1]
                        F          
I had a birthday and my friends all
       C
 came
                            G      
They brought a cake, some 
           C
remembered my name
                F
Some young kids called me dad
      C            G        C     
Never seen 'em in my life before

[Verse 2]
                             F     
I felt their tears when they kissed
          C
 my face
                       G      C
Said, "Don't be sad no more"
                           F
They told stories 'bout me younger 
days
    C      G        C   F  C  F  Em7
And life before the war

I'm happy as can be

They keep me here to make the

nurses smile
                          G     
Think I'll head home in a little 
        C
while

My young bride, she's waiting for me

In our love nest by the sea

I had a birthday and some people

Nice folk didn't know their names

My kids all came, that made me glad
