on 4\r\n\r\n\r\n[Verse 1]\r\n[tab][ch]G[/ch]\r\nMy grandpa fought in World War II[/tab]\r\n\r\nMy uncle fought in ‘Nam\r\n[tab][ch]Em[/ch]\r\nMy father was too young [/tab]\r\n\r\nHe went to school and met my mom\r\n[tab][ch]C[/ch]\r\nAnd her dad always told us stories around dinner time[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] \r\nAnd there’s one he told when I was young that sticks out in my mind[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]G[/ch]\r\nHe said ten years after daddy taught me bout the birds and bees[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]Em[/ch]\r\nI was stranded in Pearl Harbor fighting off the Japanese[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]C[/ch]\r\nWhen the kamikaze pilots came and dove in without warning[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] \r\nI was on the Arizona on a warm December morning[/tab]\r\n\r\n[Chorus]\r\n[tab][ch]G[/ch]\r\nI Remember [/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch]\r\nWhen I was a younger man[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]G[/ch]\r\nWe were soldiers [/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch]\r\nFighting in a foreign land[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]A7[/ch] [ch]C[/ch]\r\nNow I’m older [/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]C[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch]\r\nAnd it’s happening again[/tab]\r\n\r\n[Verse 2]\r\n[tab][ch]G[/ch]\r\nIt was hard to have forgiveness for the things they did that day[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]Em[/ch]\r\nAnd our President decided we should make their people pay[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]C[/ch] \r\nSo we dropped on Nagasaki and we cut ‘em down to size[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] \r\nAnd the one we dropped on Hiroshima left them vaporized[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]G[/ch]\r\nAnd I heard some Christian saying, what would Jesus do[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]Em[/ch] \r\nWhat if you were on the wrong side, would he point the gun at you[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]C[/ch] \r\nAnd they read through every word of Matthew, Mark and Luke and John[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch]\r\nSo they could see if killing was the side that Christ was on [/tab]\r\n\r\n\r\n[Chorus]\r\n[tab][ch]G[/ch]\r\nI Remember [/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch]\r\nWhen I was a younger man[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]G[/ch]\r\nWe were soldiers [/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch]\r\nFighting in a foreign land[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]A7[/ch] [ch]C[/ch]\r\nNow we’re older [/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]C[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] \r\nAnd it’s happening again[/tab]\r\n\r\n\r\n[Verse 3]\r\n[tab][ch]G[/ch]\r\nAnd they separate the church and state[/tab]\r\n\r\nAnd keep God out of school\r\n[tab][ch]Em[/ch]\r\nSo our governments can educate[/tab]\r\n\r\nBased upon their rules\r\n[tab][ch]C[/ch]\r\nBut people start to wonder if our politics make sense[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch]\r\nWhen religion is our best excuse for national defense[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]G[/ch]\r\nAnd when our citizens start saying that our wars are not ok[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]Em[/ch] \r\nAnd Washington keeps telling them God loves the USA[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]C[/ch]\r\nAnd they teach us history so we can learn from our mistakes[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch]\r\nAnd this generation wants to know how many years it takes[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]C[/ch]\r\nTo change the way we treat our neighbors all across the land[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch]\r\nCause if we don’t change our hearts we repeat the past again[/tab]\r\n\r\n\r\n[Chorus]\r\n[tab][ch]G[/ch]\r\nI Remember [/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch]\r\nWhen I was a younger

finished talking[/tab]\r\n\r\nWe went walking, he and I\r\n[tab][ch]Em[/ch]\r\nI was thinking of the future and how scared I was to die[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]C[/ch] \r\nNow my best friend’s overseas in the desert where it’s dry[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch]\r\nFighting for our country and I need a reason why[/tab]\r\n\r\n\r\n[Chorus]\r\n[tab][ch]G[/ch]\r\nI Remember [/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]C[/ch]
