Capo on 4
Tabbed by mgret_10
[G]My grandpa fought in World War II
My uncle fought in ?Nam
[Em]My father was too young
He went to school and met my mom
[C]And her dad always told us stories around dinner time
[G]And there?s one he told when I was young that st[D]icks out in my mind
[G]He said ten years after daddy taught me bout the birds and bees
I was str[Em]anded in Pearl Harbor fighting off the Japanese
[C]When the kamikaze pilots came and dove in without warning
[G]I was on the Arizona on a war[D]m December morning
Chorus
[G]I Remember
When I w[C]as a younger [G]man
[G]We were soldiers
Fighting[C] in a foreign[G] land
Now I?m o[Am]lder
[D]And it?s happening ag[G]ain[C]
Verse 2
[G]It was hard to have forgiveness for the things they did that day
[Em]And our President decided we should make their people pay
So we d[C]ropped on Nagasaki and we cut ?em down to size
And the o[G]ne we dropped on Hiroshima le[D]ft them vaporized
[G]And I heard some Christian saying, what would Jesus do
[Em]What if you were on the wrong side, would he point the gun at you
And they r[C]ead through every word of Matthew, Mark and Luke and John
So th[G]ey could see if killing was the s[D]ide that Christ was on
Chorus
[G]And they separate the church and state
And keep God out of school
[Em]So our governments can educate
Based upon their rules
[C]But people start to wonder if our politics make sense
[G]When religion is our best excuse for nat[D]ional defense
[G]And when our citizens start saying that our wars are not ok
[Em]And Washington keeps telling them God loves the USA
[C]And they teach us history so we can learn from our mistakes
[G]And this generation wants to know how m[D]any years it takes
[C]To change the way we treat our neighbors all across the land
Cause if [G]we don?t change our hearts we re[D]peat the past again
[G]I Remember
[C]When I was a young[G]er man
[G]We were soldiers
[C]Fighting in a fore[G]ign land
[Am]Now we?re older
[D]And it?s happening a[G]gain[C]
Instrumental break
[G]When my grandpa finished talking
We went walking, he and I
[Em]I was thinking of the future and how scared I was to die
[C]Now my best friend?s overseas in the desert where it?s dry
[G]Fighting for our country and I [D]need a reason why
[G]I Remember
[C]When he was a younger [G]man
[G]Now he?s a solider
[C]Fighting in a foreign [G]land
[Am]Now we?re older
[D]God bring him home [G]again
