More chords by Bill Anderson

Genre: country, folk, pop

C Dm
He came home to Tennessee a young man at the end of forty-five
G7 C
Only one of seven men in his platoon that made it back alive

He must have seen some tough times
Dm
But he never talked too much about all of that
G7
Put his pictures and his memories in the cedar chest
Dm G7 C
Everything but his old army hat
Dm
By the time I graduated the winds of change had blown across our land
G7
They were burning flags and draft cards
C
When they bothered to take some kind of stand

And we used to laugh at grandpa
Dm
Like he was some old relic from the past
G7
Cause he never left the house less he was wearing
Dm G7 C
That funny looking worn out army hat
F C
Every eye was on him anytime that he went anywhere
G7
They whispered and they pointed
C
But you could tell that grandpa didn't care
F C
I ain't weaning this for them he said it's a whole lot more than that
Dm G7
For my buddies who gave everything the least that I can do
