8th of november Big & Rich
Said goodb[A]ye to his mama as he left South Dakota
To f[G]ight for the red, white and b[D]lue
He was [A]19 and green with a new M-16
Just d[G]oin' what he had to [D]do
He was dr[A]opped in the jungle where the choppers would rumble
With the s[G]mell of napalm in the a[D]ir
Then the s[A]ergeant said, look [G]up ahead
Like a d[A]ark evil cloud 1200 came down
On h[G]im and 29 m[D]ore
They fo[A]ught for their lives but most of them died
In the [G]173rd airb[D]orne
Chorus:
On the 8[A]th of November the angels were cryin'
As they c[G]arried his brothers aw[D]ay
With the f[A]ire raining down and the hell all around
There were f[G]ew men left standing that d[D]ay
Saw the e[F]agle fly through a c[G]lear blue sky
[F]196[G]5, the 8th of Nove[A]mber[G] [D]
Now h[A]e's 58 and his ponytail's gray
But the b[G]attle still plays in his h[D]ead
He l[A]imps when he walks but he's strong when he talks
Bout the s[G]hrapnel left in his [D]leg
He puts [A]on a gray suit over his airborne tattoo
And he t[G]ies it on one time a y[D]ear
A (one strum)
And remembers the fallin' as he order's a tall one
[G]Swallows it down with his t[D]ears
CHORUS
