Memorial Day

G C D

[Verse 1]
  G
We nicknamed him Walker
  D
He tied knots to get a badge
  Em
He said, I'll serve my country
  C
Just like my old man
  G            D              C
but July 29th, came and he was gone

[Verse 2]
  G                           D
A shiny town car parked   on that old gravel lot
 Em                          C
Two uniforms on the front door they knocked
 G                                         D
His Mama started crying, she said, you are lying!
  Em       C
Wheres my son....?

[Chorus]
   G                        D
So I'll take off my hat,  raise up my drink
  G                                 Em
To the ones that gave it all for the US of A
  C                              D
Say a prayer for the families,  Lord give em strength
  G               D         Em
There's a folded flag in a frame
G           D      Em     G
and I just want to say Thanks...
  D        G
On Memorial day.

[Verse 3]
G                          D
Good men, good women gave all they had
     A                           C
They were brothers and sisters, mothers and dads
   G                              D                        C
We will never be the same,   but your sacrifice is not in vain...

[Chorus]
   G                        D
So I'll take off my hat,  raise up my drink
  G                                 Em
To the ones that gave it all for the US of A.
  C                              D
Say a prayer for the families,  Lord give em strength
  G               D         Em
There's a folded flag in a frame
G           D       Em    G
and I just want to say Thanks...
  D        G
On Memorial day.

  G           D      G            Am          C
Thank -you- Lord   for the ones  that died  for me
  G                   D         C           D
They were soliders,   Airmen, Sailors and ma__rines

[Chorus]
   G                        D
So I'll take off my hat,  raise up my drink

[Outro]
 G                      D            Em
To the gravestones that don't have a name
C     D      G
On Memorial day
C     D      G
