[C/G] [C/G] [G] [D]
VERSE
[G]What can you see from your [Em]window?
[G]I can't see anything from [Em]mine.
[G]Flags on the side of the [Em]highway
and [C/G]scripture on grocery store [G]signs.[D]
[G]Maybe eighteen was too [Em]early.
Maybe [G]thirty or forty is [Em]too.
Did [G]you get your chance to make [Em]peace with the man
before he [C/G]sent down his angels for [G]you?[D]
CHORUS
[Em]Mamas and [D]grandmamas [G]love you
'cause [Em]that's all they [D]know how to [G]do.[G/F#]
[Em]You never planned on the [Bm]bombs in the sand
or [C]sleeping in y[Cm]our dress [G]blues.
[G] [G] [Em] [Em]
[G] [G] [Em] [Em]
VERSE
Your [G]wife said this all would be [Em]funny
when [G]you came back home in a [Em]week.
You'd [G]turn twenty-two and we'd [Em]celebrate you
in a [C/G]bar or a tent by the [G]creek.[D]
Your [G]baby would just about [Em]be here.
Your [G]very last tour would be [Em]up
but [G]you won't be back. They're all [Em]dressing in black
drinking [C/G]sweet tea in styrofoam [G]cups.[D]
CHORUS
[Em]Mamas and [D]grandmamas [G]love you
[Em]American [D]boys hate to [G]los[G/F#]e.

or [C]sleeping in y[Cm]our dress [G]blues.

VERSE
Now the [G]high school gymnasium's [Em]ready,
full of [G]flowers and old legionn[Em]aires.
[G]Nobody showed up to [Em]protest,
[C/G]just sniffle and [G]stare.[D]
But there's [G]red, white, and blue in the [Em]rafters
and there's [G]silent old men from the [Em]corps.
[G]What did they say when they [Em]shipped you away
to give [C/G]all in some god awful [G]war[D]
CHORUS
[Em]Nobody [D]here can [G]forget you.
You [Em]showed us what [D]we had to [G]los[G/F#]e.
[Em]You never planned on the [Bm]bombs in the sand
or [C]sleeping in y[Cm]our dress [G]blues.
[Em]You never planned on the [Bm]bombs in the sand
or [C]sleeping in y[Cm]our dress [G]blues.
[Em]You never planned on the [Bm]bombs in the sand
or [C]sleeping in y[Cm]our dress [G]blues.
