8th Of November  Big & Rich



[G]to fight fot the red white and [D]blue
A (D)* A
He was nineteen in green with a new M-16
[G]Just doing what he had to [D]do

A (D)* A
He was dropped in the jungle where the choppers would rumble
[G]With the smell of napalm in the [D]air

[A]And the seargent said
[G]Look up ahea[D]d

A (D)* A
Like a dark evil cloud twelve hundred came down
[G]On him and twenty-nine [D]more

A (D)* A
They fought for their lives but most of them died
[G]In the 173rd [D]airborne

Chorus:
A (D)* A
On the 8th of November the angels were crying
[G]As they carried his brothers [D]away

A (D)* A
With the fire raining down and the hell all around
[G]There were few men left standing that [D]day

[F]Saw an eagle fly through a [G]clear blue sky
[F]Nineteen-sixty-[G]five
NC A (D)* A G D
the 8th of November

A (D)* A
Now he's fifty-eight and his pony tail's gray
[G]But the battle still plays in his [D]head

A (D)* A
He limps when he walks but he's strong when he talks
[G]About the shrapnell they left in his [D]leg

A (D)* A
He puts on a suit over his airborne tatoo
[G]He ties it on one time a [D]year

A (D)* A
He remembers the fallen as he orders a tall one
[G]And swallows it down with his [D]tears

Chorus:
A (D)* A
On the 8th of November the angels were crying
[G]As they carried his brothers [D]away

A (D)* A
With the fire raining down and the hell all around
[G]There were few men left standing that [D]day

[F]Saw an eagle fly through a [G]clear blue sky
[F]Nineteen-sixty-[G]five
NC A (D)* A G D

* You don't need to play this D, but Big Kenny plays it live. I think it sounds good,
it makes it so you are not holding A out so long. Its a good song, don't be afraid to let
ring for a little, i.e. only strum F once until the G on "saw the eagle fly", it sounds best. ENJOY!

the very first part of the song is:
Said goodbye to his mamma
As he left South Dakota
To fight for the Red, White, and Blue.
He was nineteen and green with a new M-16
Just doing what he had to do.
and you can alternate G and D for the beginning until it picks up at to fight
