CAPO II
[Intro]
D  G  Bm  A
GWe went out for beers and a couple laughs, knowin' full well that every bad joke
D/F#Jimmy told could be his last
So we Glaughed like the world wasn't at war, said things to him we'd never said before
And D/F#he teared up when he held up his glass
Said Gboys, if I don't make it back
[Chorus]
Have a beer fDor me, don't waste no tears on meG  
On FriDday nights sit on the visitor side and cheer Gfor the home team
Drive my camaro Dninety milGes an hour down Red Rock Road
With Born Dto Run blastin' oD/F#n the radioG  
BmFind someone good enouAgh for Amy, who would lGove her like I would haveD/F#  Em  G  
If AI don't make it backD  
[Intro]
We said Ghey man that ain't gonna happen, don't even think like that
If D/F#we know you, you'll pull thru without a scratch
He Gpulled me aside in the parkin' lot, said Amy and me we're gonna tie the knot
And you're my D/F#best man, just wanted you to know that
In Gcase I don't make it back
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
DIf the good Lord calls Gme home
I'd like to think my Emfriends will think about me when I'm Agone
GWell Miller Lite ain't my brand, but I drink one every now and then
D/F#In his honor
And Gwe ain't missed a home game yet, had that camaro at a hundred and ten
On D/F#Red Rock Road when the speakers blowed
And I Bmintroducted AAmy to a Gfriend of mine from D/F#Monroe
He's a Emgood old boy, Gah Abut you know, she just ain't ready
[Intro]

Hold 'em Dproud and hold 'em high, let him Ghear you in the sky
To Bmone hell of a guyA  
Here's to DJimmyG
