[Verse]
There's a Cmemory that rings clear as a bell
I was Ambouncin' like a bull rider on his knee
I sure Fmiss those old stories that he'd tell
From a Ghobo on a freight train to a sailor out at sea
My Cgranny says that I've got his smile
He's the Amreason I take pride in my last name
No, he Fnever made the headlines, nobody sings his song
So, for Gevery unsung hero, I'm singin' this today
[Chorus]
So, raise your Ambottle to the boys and let's re- Cmember
All the Amfallen and the price they had to Cpay
Hold 'em up Dmhigh and salute all the C/Eones that made it back
And for the Gones away from home, don't forget to Fpray
Grand- Cpa would sing you every Hank Williams song
But it's A- Ammazing Grace that brought him back around
He'd Fshed a tear talkin' about the day
That GGerman gunner shot his best friend down
My Cdaddy fought a war some say in vain
He Amcame home in a wheel chair, he walks with a cane
Seems like Fevery generation has to pay the cost
I Gthink about my family and the good friends that we've lost
[Chorus]
So, raise your Ambottle to the boys and let's re- Cmember
All the Amfallen and the price they had to Cpay
Hold 'em up Dmhigh and salute all the C/Eones that made it back
And for the Gones away from home, don't forget to Fpray
From Norman- Dmdy to Korea, to EmKason Vietnam,
Heart- Faches streach from coast to Ccoast,
From Bunker DmHill to Filucia, Gettys- Emburg to Japan
Every- Fone who's ever served or lost someone let's make a GtoastF  Em  G/D  
[Chorus]
So, raise your Ambottle to the boys and let's re- Cmember
All the Amfallen and the price they had to Cpay
Hold 'em up Dmhigh and salute all the C/Eones that made it back
And for the Gones away from home, don't forget to Fpray
Don't forget to Cpray, Foh, don't forget to CprayF  
Don't forget to Cpray F  Em  G/D  C

[Verse]

There's a memory that rings clear as a bell

I was bouncin' like a bull rider on his knee

I sure miss those old stories that he'd tell

From a hobo on a freight train to a sailor out at sea

My granny says that I've got his smile

He's the reason I take pride in my last name

No, he never made the headlines, nobody sings his song

So, for every unsung hero, I'm singin' this today

[Chorus]

Am C

So, raise your bottle to the boys and let's re- member

Am C

All the fallen and the price they had to pay

Dm C/E

Hold 'em up high and salute all the ones that made it back

G F

And for the ones away from home, don't forget to pray

Grand- pa would sing you every Hank Williams song

But it's A- mazing Grace that brought him back around

He'd shed a tear talkin' about the day

That German gunner shot his best friend down

My daddy fought a war some say in vain

He came home in a wheel chair, he walks with a cane

Seems like every generation has to pay the cost

I think about my family and the good friends that we've lost

[Chorus]

Am C

So, raise your bottle to the boys and let's re- member

Am C

All the fallen and the price they had to pay

Dm C/E

Hold 'em up high and salute all the ones that made it back

G F

And for the ones away from home, don't forget to pray

Dm Em

From Norman- dy to Korea, to Kason Vietnam,

F C

Heart- aches streach from coast to coast,

Dm Em

From Bunker Hill to Filucia, Gettys- burg to Japan

F G F Em G/D

Every- one who's ever served or lost someone let's make a toast

[Chorus]

Am C

So, raise your bottle to the boys and let's re- member

Am C

All the fallen and the price they had to pay

Dm C/E

Hold 'em up high and salute all the ones that made it back

G F

And for the ones away from home, don't forget to pray

C F C F

Don't forget to pray, oh, don't forget to pray

C F Em G/D C

Don't forget to pray
