If I Dont Make It Back

D  G  Bm  A

G
We went out for beers and a couple laughs, knowin' full well that every bad joke
D/F#
Jimmy told could be his last
      G
So we laughed like the world wasn't at war, said things to him we'd never said 
before
    D/F#
And he teared up when he held up his glass
     G
Said boys, if I don't make it back

[Chorus]
             D                                          G
Have a beer for me, don't waste no tears on me
      D                                            G
On Friday nights sit on the visitor side and cheer for the home team
               D          G
Drive my camaro ninety miles an hour down Red Rock Road
         D                 D/F#              G
With Born to Run blastin' on the radio
Bm                    A                      G                        D/F#       
Find someone good enough for Amy, who would love her like I would have
     Em             G

   A                      D
If I don't make it back

[Intro]

        G
We said hey man that ain't gonna happen, don't even think like that
   D/F#
If we know you, you'll pull thru without a scratch
   G
He pulled me aside in the parkin' lot, said Amy and me we're gonna tie the knot
              D/F#
And you're my best man, just wanted you to know that
   G
In case I don't make it back

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
D                      G
If the good Lord calls me home
                     Em                                   A
I'd like to think my friends will think about me when I'm gone

G
Well Miller Lite ain't my brand, but I drink one every now and then
D/F#
In his honor
    G
And we ain't missed a home game yet, had that camaro at a hundred and ten

   D/F#
On Red Rock Road when the speakers blowed
      Bm          A        G                   D/F#
And I introducted Amy to a friend of mine from Monroe
       Em           G   A
He's a good old boy, ah but you know, she just ain't ready

[Intro]
      D
Yeah, this place just ain't the same
             G
Without that smoke-blowin', rain-joke-tellin'
Bm                            A
Fist-fightin', always-smilin, dear friend to me
         D                                G
Hold 'em proud and hold 'em high, let him hear you in the sky
   Bm                 A
To one hell of a guy
          D      G
Here's to Jimmy
              Bm           A
Yeah we gonna miss ya man
