Veteran Fighter

Intro (just listen for timing)

E B

Verse 1

C#m                     G#m
You see the moon in the mirror tonight
        A                E
As you put it on to 35 South
C#m                     G#m
You got a lot upon your mind tonight
            A                        E
And so you took a ride to figure it out

Pre-Chorus

     G#m        A
The years went by
      E                 B
Like strangers that you might
    G#m    A
Have recognized
        E                         B
If they didn't walk away into the waiting night

Chorus (2X)

A
Don't back down yet, it'll get brighter
E
Stand your ground like a veteran fighter
C#m                                        E
Grip that wheel just a little bit tighter now

Verse 2

C#m                       G#m
You see your baby in the stars tonight
        A              E
As you pull it onto 35 South
C#m                            G#m
You know she wonders where you are tonight
             A                      E
And whether you could ever turn it around

Pre-Chorus

G#m    A
Been awhile
      E                  B
Since you could hold her hand
G#m        A
She is so kind
    E                   B
She smiles and says she understands

Chorus (2X)

A
Don't back down yet, it'll get brighter
E
Stand your ground like a veteran fighter
C#m                                        E
Grip that wheel just a little bit tighter now

Harmonica Solo

Chorus (4X)

A
Don't back down yet, it'll get brighter
E
Stand your ground like a veteran fighter
C#m                                        E
Grip that wheel just a little bit tighter now
