Veteran's Day

verse 1
 A                                 
Well I used to hang out down at the
           D
 local VFW hall
     A                             
And stare at the photographs up on 
     E
the wall
      A                            
Of the neighborhood boys that died 
                        D
in the wars we've been through
       A                           
And the hand lettered sign that 
   E               A
said remember Jimmy McGrew


verse 2
 A                               D
Well Jimmy went to Nam back in 1965
A                                 
But there's a lot of men here that
                            E
 think Jimmy McGrew's still alive
            A                   
Though they carved his name on a 
                     D
stone in Washington DC
Continúa después del anuncio
    A                        E    
His brother said that stone don't 
                      A
prove a d**n thing to me


Refrão -------------
            D                     
It's veteran's day and the skies are
A
 gray
Leave the uniforms home cause there 
                  E
ain't gonna be a parade
         A                       
But we'll fill up a glass for the 
                           D
ones that didn't make it through
           A                   
And leave a light in the window 
  E                 A
tonight for Jimmy McGrew

verse 3

There's a hot rain fallin' on the 
back streets of Saigon

There's an old soldier stumblin' 
down the alley with his mama-san

Lord his eyes are cloudy and his 
arms are black and blue

He's just hangin' by a thread and he
 looks like Jimmy McGrew



CHORUS:
