A
Jimmy wasn't
       A7
really popular
         D
He had a couple of
             D7
friends back home
F
Sooner or later they're
G
all getting out
      C
So he had to
join up alone
A
  He was dreaming
       A7
of the Ivy League
Since he was
D           D7
only 3 feet tall
F
  Get the hell out
   G
of Jersey and then
         C
He would never
look back at all

(refrão)
             F
And then you hear them
         Em
say That miles away
   C7
We lost another one
        F
that we sent with a gun
Fm
  They're gonna miss him
       F#m7
he was two weeks from twenty
             F
And there's still no shame
         G
From the man to blame

(verso 2)
A
  Jimmy never had
  A7
a reason to stay
Cause all the
D              D7
factories shut down
F
  All he had was
  G
a line for his name
            C
So he could sign away
his right to be proud
A
  He tried to kiss her
       A7
on the way out the door
             D
But she just put her
                   D7
little hand on his face
  F
I don't understand why
       G
you're leaving she said
      C
But I hope you're
                C7
gonna ask me to wait

F
  Jimmy's mother went
   G
to Capitol Hill
             Em
So she could fill her
              Am G
heart up with joy
Dm
  Maybe shake a few
G
hands while she's there
             Em
And tell him thank you
                  Am G
sir for taking my boy

(refrão)

(outro)
 F
still no shame
          G           F
and We're all to blame
             G
We're all to blame
             F
We're all to blame
             G
We're all to blame
             F    G F G F G F G F
We're all to blame
