G                                       D7
Well I used to hang out down at the VFW hall
                                       G
And stare at the photographs up on the wall
                                                          D7
Of the neighborhood boys that died in the wars we've been through
                                                    G
And the hand lettered sign that said remember Jimmy McGrew
                                 D7
Well Jimmy went to Nam back in 1965
                                                              G
But there's a lot of men here that think Jimmy McGrew's still alive
                                                     D7
Though they carved his name on a stone in Washington DC
                                                   G
His brother said that stone don't prove a thing to me
               C                     G
It's veteran's day and the skies are gray
                                                       D7
Leave the uniforms home cause there ain't gonna be a parade
          G                                                C
But we'll fill up a glass for the ones that didn't make it through
            G                     D7              G
And leave a light in the window tonight for Jimmy McGrew
                                                     D7
There's a hot rain falling on the back streets of Saigon
                                                              G
There's an old soldier stumbling down the alley with his mama-san
                                                    D7
Lord his eyes are cloudy and his arms are black and blue
                                                      G
He's just hanging by a thread and he looks like Jimmy McGrew
               C                     G
It's veteran's day and the skies are gray
                                                       D7
Leave the uniforms home cause there ain't gonna be a parade
          G                                                C
But we'll fill up a glass for the ones that didn't make it through
            G                     D7              G
And leave a light in the window tonight for Jimmy McGrew
And keep it burning bright there may still be
A lot of Jimmy McGrews over there
                                                           C
But we'll fill up a glass for the ones that didn't make it through
            G                     D7              G
And leave a light in the window tonight for Jimmy McGrew
